I count two from their heyday.

I have everything the Allman Brothers have released. This is the first time I won't be getting it. I have got virtually everything already on this box set many times over

I’ll be getting the CDs assuming it hits a price point around $40 I think.

Where else has the Trouble No More demo been released?

one unreleased tune, and its live 'i'm not cryin".

at least that's what i see, every other "unreleased" tune has been released, just in a different form.

and then they wonder why people download......

Hmm.

I think there are 2... “I’m Not Crying” and “Loan Me A Dime” (sure done by Boz Scaggs with Duane solo but I’m not aware of any Allman Brothers Band release with this song.

I get your point. Really I do. But their catalog just isn’t that deep as far as individual tracks go. Realistically, it’s something like this or nothing. I don’t think there are any unique songs recorded by the band up to at least the last iteration where they started doing more and more covers.

I caved and bought the set for above my original desired price ($40 with actual bought price at $45+). But this really is a beautiful set, unlike, say, Fillmore West ‘71. Glad I bought it for the comprehensiveness, 88 page book, high quality, and strong value given the contents and quality.

I am certain that there are much more unreleased material recorded by the band from the later period from 1989 to 2010 when they stopped producing studio recordings.
Hopefully we will get some of this in the future

I have most of this material at least two or three times over already.

I'm good.
