The Allman Brothers Band will release a massive box set to mark their 50th anniversary.
Due February 28, “Trouble No More: The Complete 50th Anniversary Collection” delivers 61 classics from the Jacksonville, FL outfit, including a mix of live performances and rarities – including seven previously-unreleased tracks.
Available in multiple configurations, including as a 10LP deluxe vinyl box set, 5 CD package and digitally, the compilation is named after – and being previewed by – a previously-unavailable 1969 demo of “Trouble No More”, and bookended with a live performance of the song from the Allman Brothers Band’s final show at New York’s Beacon Theatre in the fall of 2014.
Arranged chronologically and thematically and representing all 13 lineups the band had, “Trouble No More: The Complete 50th Anniversary Collection” is grouped into five distinct eras representing the various stages of the band’s recording and performance history, divided by the group's stints on the Capricorn, Arista and Epic labels, as well as the band's own Peach imprint.
The deluxe vinyl box presents 10 LPs packaged in five gatefold jackets housed in a wood veneer-wrapped slipcase with gold graphics, accompanied by a 56-page book. The vinyl set will also be released as a limited edition color vinyl collection via the online music retailer uDiscover with each LP pressed on orange and red splatter colored vinyl evoking the insides of a peach.
The 5CD edition will be packaged in a 12-panel softpack with a visually distinctive slipcase and includes an 88-page booklet.
Both physical editions feature an insightful nearly 9000 word essay on the 50-year history of the band by John Lynskey, unreleased band photos along with newly shot photos of memorabilia from the Big House Museum in the band’s adopted hometown Macon, GA and a recap of the 13 incarnations of the band lineup.
The digital version of the album will mirror the 5CD edition and be available for streaming and download, including Apple Digital Master.
The surviving members of The Allman Brothers Band will reunite for a 50th anniversary concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden on March 10.
Billed as “The Brothers”, the lineup of drummer Jaimoe Johanson, guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, bassist Oteil Burbridge and percussionist Marc Quinones will be joined at the one-time event by Duane Trucks and Reese Wynans, and special guest Chuck Leavell.
