Allman Brothers – Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil 2 LP 180g (LP – New)

Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. It has been remastered from original analog tapes by Keven Reeves to 192kHz 24-bit audio and then cut on copper plates using Abbey Road Mastering’s Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) lathe. The original artwork has been faithfully reproduced. Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas is a 1976 double live album by The Allman Brothers Band. It collected a variety of performances from the mid-1970s line-up of the band. Songs from their popular 1973 Brothers and Sisters album were heavily featured, but each of their other studio albums was represented by a selection as well. Some of the 1973 performances, such as of “Southbound”, are strong, and the energetic 1975 run-through of “Can’t Lose What You Never Had” showed why it had enjoyed much of the progressive rock radio airplay off that year’s Win, Lose or Draw. The New Year’s Eve 1972 nightclub performance of “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More”, a number originally recorded shortly after the band lost Duane Allman and now being played shortly after the band lost Berry Oakley, illustrated the group’s mixture of lament and resolve.
