Duane Allman “Skydog” retrospective 7CD box set being reissued
When the seven-CD Duane Allman retrospective Skydog was issued in March this year, the limited edition 10,000 run sold out almost before the release date, leading to high prices ($250+) being charged for new or nearly new copies.
Fans who missed out will be pleased to hear that the box set is being re-released in October 2013 and can already be pre-ordered for €79 (£68) on Amazon Germany, $92 from Amazon.com or $74 Canadian from Amazon.ca which is only £45!
It is not clear at this stage whether the packaging will replicate what was put out in the spring (the limited box included a replica of Duane’s guitar pick, and a Skydog sticker etc.) but we can expect the same 129-track collection one way or the other. Full track listing for this box set is below.
- • UK Pre-order: Skydog: Duane Allman Retrospective
- • USA Pre-order: Skydog: Duane Allman Retrospective
- • CANADA Pre-order: Skydog: Duane Allman Retrospective
- • GERMANY Pre-order: Skydog: Duane Allman Retrospective
