Both albums also exist as a 2 on 1 if I remember well
Hourglass sounds NOTHING like Allman Bros band. >> a bit Motown-ish if you ask me, but last I heard their albums was some 15 years ago.
The greatest work from Duane outside the ABB is not Layla , but Boz Scaggs (ex-Steve Miller's Band) on one long bluesy track called Loan Me A dime where Duane smokes throughout the 13 min+

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Websearch comes up with little within copious details of the ABB wrt Hourglass, e.g.
http://www.warr.org/allmans.html
The multi-disc set Dreams has three Hourglass tunes (including my favourite of that period Down In Texas):

It does not appear that Hourglass has other been issued on CD. I picked up the UK Liberty LP of The Hour Glass(to give them the proper label) in a dumper bin sometime 68 or 69, with its liner notes by Neil Young (clearly approving of southern country rock bands then!!! )

Thanks for the info.

I own this Boz Scaggs album and to be honest I bought it only because I heard that it features Duane on dobro and slide guitar. 'Loan Me A Dime' is admirable blues with impressive and sensible Duane guitar and beautiful Barry Beckett organ, all suplemented with nice horns. It has only one demerit - it lasts only 12:48 !

Probably why my Hourglass LP is still in good nick, I only irregularly play Down In Texas
- which is surely proto-ABB, and not like Motown. The album has
the almost obligatory (then) Lennon & McCartney track.

You're right, it bubbles up at Amazon (US) as an import BGO Records and some Oz label seem to be handling it:

though the cover illustrated is different from the UK Liberty Records LP sleeve.

Ludlow garage was a place in Cicinatti, Ohio but got closed down for reasons unknown to me. More importantly, it was that venue the Allman Brothers recorded their 44 minute rendition of "Mountain Jam" 11 minutes longer than the original jam at the Fillmore East shows.

I actually think Layla And Other Assorted Lovesongs is an excellent album. I've always found it ironic that whenever another guitarist works with Eric Clapton, they always outshine him. Duane Allman walks all over him on that album. "Key To The Highway" is just blinding!
As for the Hourglass, I've yet to acquire anything of theirs, all though I do plan too.
Now I cannot wait until the 22nd August, because a new Gov't Mule album is released!
