To Tom Seeks and other inquring minds: Re: American U Archival release: I was lucky enough to literally bump into Joe Bell from HTN outside the Sweetie's room (I think he had the room next to Bird's) and we had about a 40-45 minute conversation, mostly about the unreleased material in the archives. In respect to his wishes, I can't say too much, but I will say that they are planning to release 2 to 3 projects per year and that there is a WEALTH of material. This will be the first of many on the ABB's Allman Brothers Band own label. Joe said unequivocably that the only way that future releases would become available, however, is if they turned a profit on this one. Tom Seeks has also made this point: if nobody buys it and everyone just copies it and sends it to everyone else as a freebie, that will be the end of it. Support the ABB's archival release program and BUY IT, and we'll have more down the road.
