DUANE ALLMAN:
Fame Recording Sessions, February 1969

Duane Allman recorded tracks for a never released solo album at Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL in January/February 1969 with the help of: Berry Oakley (Bass), Paul Hornsby (Piano, Organ) and Johnny Sandlin (Drums).
Jaimoe played drums at the rehearsals, but not on the actual recordings.

Duane Allman plays on all tracks.

On April 10, 2013 Rodney Hall of Fame Recording Studios send us some copies of documents from the Fame archives.

This list confirms that masters exist of these 8 tracks:

Duane's contract with Rick Hall's Fame Productions, Inc. and Fame Publishing Co., Inc. was sold on May 10, 1969 to Atlantic Recording Corporation:

Tracks 2 & 4 released on:
Duane Allman: "An Anthology Volume II" (Capricorn, 1974)
Duane Allman: "Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective" (Rounder Records, 2013)

Track 5 released on:
Duane Allman: "An Anthology" (Capricorn, 1972)
The Allman Brothers Band: "Dreams" (box set) (Polydor, 1989)
Duane Allman: "Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective" (Rounder Records, 2013)

The other tracks are not officially released.

Track 1 is released on the bootleg CD:
"One More Ride - Idlewild South Outtakes" (It's The Feel Of Music ITS-1005). The multi-track recording of this song was later used for Johnny Jenkins' album "Ton-Ton Macoute!" (Capricorn, 1970) with Johnny Jenkins' vocals and harmonica and Pete Carr's acoustic guitar added.

Track 3 was mentioned in the Duane Allman discography that was published on the official Allman Brothers Band website until 2002and in Dean Reynolds' book "The Complete Allman Brothers Band Discography" (2000). A recording of this song was played by Kirk West on the radio show "From The Vaults" (WBCN, Boston, 1993).

Tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are mentioned in the booklet of the Allman Brothers Band box set "Dreams" (Polydor, 1989, page 7). Track 8 is also mentioned in Scott Freeman's book "Midnight Riders - The Story Of The Allman Brothers Band", page 37 (Little, Brown & Company, 1995). A recording of track 6 ("Bad News") is not available, but the booklet of "Dreams" mentions that the multi-tracks of "Dimples", "Bad News" "Down Along The Cove" were later used for Johnny Jenkins' album "Ton-Ton Macoute!" (Capricorn, 1970).

Track 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are mentioned by Johnny Sandlin in the liner notes of the 1997 CD release of Johnny Jenkins' album "Ton-Ton Macoute!" (Capricorn / PolyGram).
But in the same liner notes Johnny Sandlin also writes that only track 1 of the Fame sessions ("Down Along The Cove") was used for Johnny Jenkins' album. All the other tracks for "Ton-Ton Macoute!" were recorded at the Capricorn Studio in Macon, GA and the Fame recording of "Dimples" was not used.
A recording of track 7 ("Neighbor, Neighbor") is not available.

Dimples
(one-sided acetate)

Original release:
One-sided acetate: Atlantic (?) (1969)

1. Dimples

Although 'Allman Bros.' is written on the label, we assume that this is the version Duane Allman recorded for his solo project in January/February 1969 at Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL with Berry Oakley (Bass), Paul Hornsby (Piano, Organ) and Johnny Sandlin (Drums).

The one-sided acetate must have been manufactured later than January/February 1969, because at that time the Allman Brothers Band didn't exist yet. Maybe it was manufactured on July 28, 1969, as written on the label.

Another possibility is that this track was recorded during the recording sessions for the first Allman Brothers Band album and remained unreleased.

Update September 23, 2009:

We found a recording of 'Dimples'
that does not sound like an Allman Brothers Band recording:

This is the recording from this acetate and it is probably the version of 'Dimples' that was recorded during the January/February 1969 sessions at Fame for Duane's solo project.
