If you want to know why this Album is "A Must" read on!
OK... i am 48 and I had this album in my collection in my 20's. Actually, I got turned onto the ALLMAN BROS. by my oldest brother the year after Duane Allman died. So I was well familiar with this album and I am sure (back then) I had a recorded copy on a cheap cassette player that I would listen to all the time. I, myself would later on become a serious music affectionundo and would dj at my college in the mid 80's SUNY New Palz (WNPR about 20 miles from Woodstock). This album was always more than just one of my favorite albums. As I assembled a collection it always remained in my top 10 of all time. Simply because this is the Allman Bros. in their prime. Not to mention the last album that has Duane Allman on it. (Incidental, Duane Allman was in Eric Clapton's band "Derek and the Dominos" and you can hear alot of Duane's slide guitar on "Layla" in the second part of the song. Its not Eric as most "non-knowing" would have you believe.) Moreover, this album is almost sacred to me for so many reasons: Probably most importantly the song "(Sweet) Melissa" has Duane Allman's sweetest slide guitar performances ever recorded. BTW, this album was named for Duane Allman who died when his motorcycle crashed into a peach farmer's truck. Another big reason why I like this album so much is because this album was recorded in the tradition of non-commercialized record industry crap that would have taken over (the record industry) shortly thereafter this album was released in the mid 1970's. Yet strictly because of its essence alone it was established as one of the most important Southern Rock albums of all time. It has held up for so long by its own merit. A fan favorite all these years simply by it's music and not by the advertising and promotion of Capricorn Records (the label it was recorded on. It has maintained it's greatness all these years- a timeless classic. Originally a double LP due to "Mountain Jam" a live recorded free and open mellow guitar jamming tune. (Duane Allman and Dicky Betts). Sort of like a kick back and relax on a back country road (southern style journey) for 33 and a half minutes- the actual song length. There are no lyrics sung on that Mountain Jam tune but - "OH!!!! Doesn't Duane make that guitar sing!!!" And then there is one of my favorite songs of all ALLMAN BROS songs; "Blue Sky". The LP inner sleeve is famous for it's artwork of the mushroom elves gathering and working. Most definitely it's related to the psychedelic era- the era from which this album was created. I think the small insert of this CD of the formerly LP size artwork doesn't do the artwork justice (It is loss in the changing of format from LP to CD) but certainly nothing is loss in the audio recording in the changing of format. Back in the 1970's if you didn't know about "Idlewild South" - one of the early Allman albums- then this album was what put the Allman Bros. on all FM radio stations playing list. And all FM rock listeners music listening compass back in the 1970's. It made the Allman Bros more than just "some Southern Rock band" but a serious American rock band and probably laid the foundation for the future evolution of Southern Rock as a type of genre that influenced way too many modern performers that can be listed here. There are hundreds! But certainly people like John Cougar and John Mayer and many other Johnny Somebodies were influenced by the ABB and "Eat a Peach" is a big reason why.

Like BOSE engineered speakers. OUTSTANDING!!!!
I've had about 10 pairs of computer speakers since I've started to use a pc since the late 80's. And these speakers never fail to astound me. I don't take for granted their big sound ever. Being that I have a background in audio visuals as a professional it is even more so that I never fail to recognize every day that I've used these they are beyond compare. Siimply put state-of- the-art performance. Add to that; I play guitar and sometimes I even used them to jam ... they have that much volume and frequency range that I've been able to mix the music coming out of this system with my small guitar amp. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has an professional audio background as well as the non-professionl. The only draw back of these speakers is that the two small speaker are too light weight and have a tendency to fall over easily. Especially the one speaker with the volume control. So I recommend velcro on the bottoms and attaching them to whatever surface you use them on. Its either that or double stick tape. But at least with velcro you can remove them readily.

Astonished novice! Yet great for advance flyers too!
I have been meaning to buy one of the flight simulating softwares for about 20 years when my former girlfriend's father used probably one of the first one of these softwares on a Mac computer in the late 80's. Back then it was very elementary keyboard keys that manipulated the flight and it was complicated. So I decided to wait a while to get a more sophisticated one...I didn't expect to wait this long. But nevertheless, I got this first one of these in the late 2---'s and wish I got this sooner. However, with the high definition flatscreen I use as a monitor my flying experience is remarkable. Luckily the developers allow for upgrades to high end monitor in the system options menu (a simple a click away) from changing. What I like with this program a lot is how this program allows you to pan your view out the left or right window simply by moving the mouse to the left or right. And by far the coolest features are the monitor view by using a few of the F keys on top of your keyboard. There is the plane tail view "camera" which allows you to see your plane from about 100 feet behind the tail. But my favorite which makes this totally coooool!!!!!! Is the F key that you can during flight that gives you a fly by perspective. Which is essentially seeing your plane from the front at about 100 yards and then it flys by the camera much like one of those cool Nascar cameras that you see mounted next to the race track. Then your can see it fly into an infinity into the horizon rear shot. In addition they were genius it having the audio coincide with what is going on with the visuals which makes this perspective look and sound so cool. I sometimes will hit this F key about 10+ times and groove on this rapid repeat of fly by!!! Its enough hot camera perspective to make Martin Scorsese green with envy! I picked this up for next to nothing since its considered old already but if you can buy it on ebay I am sure it will be well worth it especially if its less than 10 dollars!
