Unless The Winner Of This Auction Decides To Re-Sell
You Will Never Have Another Opportunity To Own This Item.
This is a very rare and one of a kind master reel to reel "rough" of Gregg Allmans' first solo album "Laid Back" (which was publicly released in 1973). It was recorded at Capricorn Studios and produced by Johnny Sandlin in Macon, Georgia, in the early seventies.
An album "rough" is similar to the rough draft when writing a paper. It is the studio's rough draft of a yet to be produced album. As is the nature, the play list and order of songs on the "rough" are different than what was released in the final public version.
The "rough" play list is:
1. Good Thing
2. Midnight Rider
3. All My Friends
4. Queen of Hearts
5. Please Call Home
6. Will the Circle Be Unbroken
The play list of the final public release in 1973 is:
1. Midnight Rider
2. Queen Of Hearts
3. Please Call Home
4. Don't Mess Up A Good Thing
5. These Days
6. Multi-Colored Lady
7. All My Friends
8. Will The Circle Be Unbroken
This reel came from the estate of Frank Fenter who, along with Phil Walden, was the co-founder of Capricorn. He was considered by many to be the driving force behind Capricorn. Frank died in 1983 from a sudden heart attack in Macon, Georgia.

My parents were friends with Frank's wife, Kiki. After his death, many of Frank's personal belongings were given away or sold at an estate sale before she moved to Scotland. My parents were given several items from the estate, including this very rare reel to reel. Shortly thereafter, it was packed away and put into the attic where it stayed and actually was forgotten for 23 years.
I lost both my parents in the past 2 years: my mom in 2005 and my dad last year in 2006. In the process of cleaning out their house, I came across those items that were given to them, including this reel to reel. I am very sentimental of my parent's belongings and will not part with much. While this is a very unique and special item and would be considered by many to be a prized possession, it was mostly forgotten by my parents. Therefore, I'm not emotionally attached to it which is great news for you.
This is likely your only chance to own this one of a kind piece of music history. Just think as you're holding it in your hands the role it played in music history. Think about the other hands that have held it and people it made contact with. It's been handled by many music industry legends including Capricorn executives, engineers, and producers; heck, it may have even passed through Gregg Allman's hands. This isn't some mass produced, manufactured commercial reel. No, it was recorded by hand, by real people at Capricorn Records in Macon, Georgia in the seventies.
