The Allman Brothers Band Signed “Beginnings” – 1973 Capricorn Records

This is a signed copy of The Allman Brothers Band’s “Beginnings”, featuring multiple authentic autographs including Gregg Allman (silver marker), Butch Trucks (black marker), and Jaimoe Johanson (blue marker). The combination of these signatures makes this an exceptionally rare piece of Southern rock history.

Released in 1973 on Capricorn Records, “Beginnings” compiles the band’s first two studio albums — “The Allman Brothers Band” (1969) and “Idlewild South” (1970). These two records represent the formative years of the group’s genre-defining fusion of rock, blues, and jazz. The reissue was remixed by Tom Dowd, the legendary engineer who worked on “Layla” and “At Fillmore East.”

Musically, “Beginnings” captures the raw brilliance of the early Allman Brothers — featuring classics such as:

• “Whipping Post”

• “Dreams”

• “Midnight Rider”

• “Revival”

• “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed”
