  Artist: Faces Title:  A Nod Is As Good As A Wink...To A Blind Horse Label: Warner Bros.

The lead track is actually a strong Mike Nesmith sounding number "Why Do You Keep Me Waiting" complete with fuzz guitar and an instrumental break that sounds downright...

  Artist: Allman Brothers Band Title: Eat A Peach Label: Polydor Format: CD Catalog Number: 823 654-2 Year of Release: 1972 Country and Year  of Edition: US circa 1984-6 Sell Price: $6.99 Sell Date: 1/28/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold: 7/5/24 NM/VG+ $3.98 Low: $3.88 Median: $5.24 Average: $6.47 High: $12.00 Current  low price:  n/a Current Number on  Sale at Discogs: 0 Have/Want: 40/60 Where Sold: Wahiawa, HI Time It Took  To Sell:  4  years Where and When  Bought: $2 Facebook marketplace lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  A- Sad To See  It Go: No Eat A Peach is probably the second best Allmans album after Live At The Fillmore East.  I first heard this circa 1980 when one of my Dad's guitar students gave him a double vinyl copy to learn a cut from the record.  I'll have to ask him what it was, I think it was a short instrumental piece which I guess would be "Little Martha."  That same student gave him Led Zep IV aro...
