Allman Brothers Band announce 50th anniversary box set, share first-ever demo “Trouble No More”: Stream

The post Allman Brothers Band announce 50th anniversary box set, share first-ever demo “Trouble No More”: Stream appeared first on Consequence of Sound.

Earlier this month, the surviving members of The Allman Brothers Band announced they’d be reuniting for a 50th anniversary concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Turns out the show won’t be the only half-century celebration, as Island Mercury/UMe have announced the career-spanning Trouble No More: 50th Anniversary Collection box set. Pre-orders are ongoing here.

Due out on February 28th, the set will be available as a 10-LP vinyl box, a five-CD set, and digitally. The vinyl collection will be packaged in a wood veneer wrapped slipcase and include a 56-page book. uDiscover will also be selling a limited edition color version of the set, featuring orange- and red-splatted vinyl to evoke a cut open peach, a frequent motif in the Florida band’s history.

The CD edition will include a 12-panel softpack and slipcase, alongside an 88-page booklet. In both versions of the book, fans will find a 9,000 word essay by Allman Brothers historian John Lynskey, unreleased photos of the band, and a breakdown of the group’s 13 different lineups.

Trouble No More will be arranged chronologically and thematically, highlighting each of the band’s baker’s dozen lineups through five distinct eras of their career. Amongst the live recordings, classic studio tracks, and rarities will be seven previously unreleased songs — including The Allman Brothers’ first-ever recording, a demo of Muddy Waters’ “Trouble No More”.

Not only does the song lend its title to the box set, it actually bookends the collection. While the demo opens the anthology, a 2014 live version recorded during The Allman Brothers Band’s final concert at NYC’s Beacon Theatre closes it out. Below, check out the never-before-released demo of “Trouble No More”, followed by the complete box set tracklist and an unboxing video.
