Duane& Greg Allman is an album credited to Duane and Gregg Allman, originallyreleased by Bold Records in May 1972. The release is essentially analbum-length demo recording of the '31stof February', a Tallahassee-based folk rock band featuring drummer ButchTrucks, bassist David Brown, and guitarist Scott Boyer. The '31st of February' formed in 1965 andreleased their first, self-titled album in 1968. This second recording,according to Trucks, was intended to be their second album. It features DuaneAllman on guitar and Gregg Allman on vocals. The two had been performing withthe 31st of February for severalmonths.
It was recorded at TK Studios in the Miami suburb of Hialeah,Florida, in September 1968. Steve Alaimo engineered the sessions and laterclaimed producer's credit. The album is notable for the first recording of"Melissa", which was later re-recorded with the Allman Brothers Band.
The Allman Joys, which evolved from their prior band theEscorts, featured Duane on lead guitar and Gregg on organ and lead vocals. The Early Allman compilation, whichcollects the band's session work from August 1966, was released in 1973.

Images are of these albums.
Both LPs are near mint. LPs are in paper sleeves, somewhat yellowed by time. The "Early Allman" liner has information about other Phonogram releases on both sides. Both liners are good – no wear, tears, or markings. Covers are good with minor edge wear and scuffing/rubbing on the faces.
As the owner, my practice was to make a cassette copy of the album for my use, hoping to keep the vinyl LP pristine.
