Eat a Peach ... *clean* original 1972 first pressing 2xLp vinyl set **including the scarce large lyrics double sided insert ...

"Eat A Peach" by the Allman Brothers was the last to include founding member and lead slide-guitar player Duane Allman, who was killed in a motorcycle accident while the album was being recorded. The album contains tracks that were not used on the legendary 1971 Fillmore album and tracks that had been completed just before Duane's death.

This album came close on the heels of their breakthrough At Fillmore East  set and featured the boogie rocker classic "One Way Out" and two entire album sides devoted to "Mountain Jam", a 33-minute improvisation. The remainder of the album was recorded in-studio and served to cement the band's reputation as innovative Southern rockers. Several tracks featured a new emphasis on more-lyrical melodic work, notably on "Melissa" and the guitar classic "Little Martha." The lilting "Blue Sky" became an album-oriented rock radio staple, while "Ain't Wastin' Time No More" served as both a quiet generational anthem and a personal statement of purpose by the band in the face of Duane's death.

The widespread story regarding the origin of the album's title, that the truck involved in Duane's fatal motorcycle accident was a peach truck, is not correct; the truck involved was a flatbed lumber truck. Rather the album name came from something Duane said in an interview shortly before he was killed. When asked what he was doing to help the revolution, Duane replied, "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace."
