The Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach - 1972

The album's artwork was created by W. David Powell at Wonder Graphics. He had seen old postcards at a drugstore in Athens, Georgia, one depicting a peach on a truck and a watermelon on a rail car. Believing them perfect for an Allman Brothers album, he purchased them and bought cans of pink and baby-blue Krylon spray paint and created a matted background area to make the cards on a twelve-by-twenty-four LP cover.

He envisioned the album having an early-morning-sky feel. He hand-lettered the band name and photographed it with a small Kodak camera, developing the photos at the drugstore. He then cut and pasted the letters on the side of the truck and the rail car.
