Imagine being in a famous US-rock-band, playing filled venues, selling hundreds of thousands of copies of your first two albums and getting increasingly popular for being the real deal....to cut it short: Imagine being a well respected star!
What happens then is, that your record company want's to put out a compilation-album to promote you in a country called Germany ...a country which, at that point, is already famous for it's experimental-music scene and at least equally infamous for the awfulness of countless album-covers created by the nutcases lurking inside german graphic-design-studios (of course you don't know anything about that as you live in the States and can't be bothered with such trivial things) so your record-company gives the german design-team the task to create an awesome cover picture....a couple of weeks later you get the message that the artwork is ready and the sleeves have already been printed. Expecting a thing of pure beauty and something that could stand as a visual-example or a recognizeable synonyme for your band and the music you create you reach out for one of those freshly pressed records and....instantly collapse
That could be the story of this truly awesome Allman Brother's compilation which was released exclusively in the land of our beloved neighbours: Germany.
Actually i don't know if Duane, Greg and the other brothers ever saw that compliation but still i wonder why they decided against a global-release which would have been justified just for the sheer visual brilliance of this record!!
Ladies and Gentlemen: This is the one and only appearance of a crome-plated-winged-cock in rock history!
This is It!
If you are looking for flying - crome - cock - extravaganza (and honestly, who doesnt?) this is the record you are looking for!!
You will understand, that i won't say anything about the music on that album as it is absolutely irrelevant
Now go on and turn this picture into your desktop-wallpaper! ;)
