 (11 Customer Reviews)
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Released shortly after the death of guitar legend Duane Allman, EAT A PEACH occupies an important transitional spot in the Allman Brothers' discography. The leading three tracks, recorded after Duane's death, point the way toward the band's future. While still rooted in the group's blues-jam roots, these songs show the Allmans angling closer to the melodic country style that was guitarist Dicky Betts's forte. Betts acquits himself well on the opening "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," deftly handling a slide-guitar part that cannot help but evoke the group's departed member.
"Melissa" plays squarely to Betts's strengths, while "Les Brers in A Minor" recalls the extended jams of the AT THE FILLMORE EAST album. The next three tracks on EAT A PEACH are taken from the Fillmore shows. Each selection represents the Duane-era Allmans at their best, especially the blistering "Trouble No More." The sound quality on these tracks, however, does not compare well to the analogous tracks on THE FILLMORE CONCERTS, an expanded reissue of the classic live album. The final three tracks, studio sessions featuring Duane, hint at what PEACH might have been had Duane lived.

The best sonic experience yet
I own the vinyl, 8-track (yeah, I'm that old), cassette, CD, and remastered CD versions of this recording. ALL of them pale in comparison to this new Surround mix. I know this music inside and out and it was like I was hearing it for the first time. The clarity and presence of the musicians is the most startling aspect of this new mix. There is not a lot of spatial soundstage monkeying around but some of the surround effects are jarring, ie. a slide guitar coming out of the left rear speakers late in a track. I don't know how good the stereo mix is because I can't get past listening to the surround mix. I am waiting with bated breath for the new Live at the Fillmore surround CD to arrive. I won't be leaving the house this weekend for sure. All Sacds should sound this good!!!

One of my Top 10 albums,CD's, whatever format EVER!!
By the way...Bruce,
I think it's the other way around... Duane was in a class by himself and saying "he was in a class with another", is inaccurate. SRV was in a class which is led by Duane.
My $0.02 worth!

The release of "Eat A Peach" on SACD (Hybrid) is as good as it gets. The mastering is incredible, the best yet.
The sound is great both on a SACD player and a standard CD player. "Mountain Jam" really comes alive!

 Must own ABB
This is a must own album by the ABB. Some fans may tire of the very long Mountain Jam, but it has some of the best playing in it.
NOTE: The version of One Way Out on here is NOT from March 12/13, 1971, it is from June 27, 1971 - the closing night at the Fillmore East. I have a radio broadcast of that show.

Renewing a partnership with Brass Construction's Randy Muller that was forged when the two played in the early-'70s group Panharmonics, Rafael Cameron released his solo debut on Salsoul in 1980. Backed by an uncredited Funk Deluxe (the instrumental alias of funk band Skyy, who were also produced by Muller), Cameron unleashed an exuberant, joyful fusion of funk underpinned by disco-inflected soul. Cameron brought a vivacity to the genre that had been missing in the onslaught of sub-disco bands that had glutted the marketplace. Both "Magic of You," which gave Cameron a Top 20 hit, and "Together" are lengthy dance grooves, divided into movements that break the pace but keep the flow. "Funkdown," meanwhile, is a throwback to classic funk that would have been as at home in the early '70s as it is here. It also lets both Cameron and Funk Deluxe really strut their stuff. But despite "Funkdown"'s brilliant edge, it was the heavily disco-fied "Let's Get It Off" that became a club hit, as much for its subtle raunch as for its effortless, spangly beats. But Cameron wasn't done yet, and proved he was as easy on the downbeat as the up, rounding the whole thing out with the marvelous, tender ballad "Feelin's," which landed him a third hit. The only problem with this outstanding LP is one of timing. Cameron slid this nugget into the Top 20 as the decade was ticking over. Too late for the dying disco movement and too early for the next wave of clubbers, it would have its flash, only to be forgotten in the long run. ~ Amy Hanson
