A new box set by The Allman Brothers Band has been announced. Trouble No More: 50th Anniversary Collection will be released on February 28.
The 10LP, 61-song set will be available on limited edition orange and red splatter vinyl as well as black vintl, and was produced by Allman Brothers historians and aficionados Bill Levenson, John Lynskey and Kirk West. Full tracklist below.
Trouble No More: 50th Anniversary Collection comes in a wood veneer-wrapped slipcase with gold graphics, five gatefold jackets and a 56-page book. There's also a 5CD edition, which includes an 88-page booklet housed in a 12-panel softpack with a slipcase.
Each album is a thematic overview of the various stages of the band’s recording and performance history, from their earliest demos for Capricorn Records to the band's final performance at New York's Beacon Theatre in 2014.
Both the vinyl and CD editions of the album feature an 8900 word essay on the 50-year history of the band by John Lynskey, as well as unreleased band photos and newly shot photos of memorabilia from the Big House Museum in Macon, GA, the official museum of the Allman Brothers Band.
“The Allman Brothers Band was at their best up on a stage," writes Lynskey, "playing live music for an audience. The group played with unbridled energy, and without constraints.
"While their set list did not vary all that much from night to night in the early days, the band’s desire to explore, create and improvise guaranteed that each show would be a different listening experience… their marathon concerts became the stuff of legend."
Last week it was announced that the surviving members of the last Allman Brothers Band lineup would play special show in New York in March, billed as 'The Brothers'.
