Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®.

The Allman Brothers Band. These Southern Rock legends have had numerous collections released over the years, and in 2000, they got a collection in UMG's 20th Century Masters series. Read on for the positives and negatives.

Positives
-All of the big hits are here. 'Melissa,' 'Jessica,' 'Blue Sky' and 'Ramblin' Man' are all here.
-The sound quality is excellent, as are most of the CDs in the series.

Negatives
-I would like to have seen 'Statesboro Blues' or 'Trouble No More' here, but they appear on a live volume in this series.

Overall, this is a great place to start, but buy this with 'A Decade of Hits 1969-1979' and you have most, if not all, of the big hits. Highly recommended for the new or casual Allmans fan.
