EAGLES - HOTEL CALIFORNIA IN CONCERT SPECIAL EDITION PICTURE DISC This vinyl release features highlights from the legendary Eagles concert on 6th November 1976 from The Summit in Houston broadcast live to support the forthcoming release of the 'Hotel California' album which appeared on 8th December 1976. By 1976 Eagles were approaching their creative peak, Joe Walsh had recently joined as replacement for mandolin and banjo player Bernie Leadon, and the result was a more rock orientated experience. Eagles had just completed the recording 'Hotel California', the first to feature Walsh, when they hit the road to showcase a rockier the live set, which featured four Walsh songs. However, the supporting promotional tour was extremely fractious, it led to founder member Randy Meisner leaving the band and laid the foundations for Eagles' fourteen year hiatus which began in 1979. Track Listing: Side A 1. Hotel California 2. One Of These Nights 3. Take It To The Limit 4. Already Gone 5. Tequila Sunrise Side B 1. Witchy Woman 2. Rocky Mountain 3. The Best Of My Love 4. James Dean 5. Desperado

Poor quality great band
A very poorly pressed album, far to many pressings these days have the audio quality of a ten year old ill treated album.This is an perfect example

Avoid, bad sq, bad source, unoficial
I don't know which source they used for this pressing, but it's very flat, there's no definition. It sounds like it's from a home tape recording.The vinyl itself is not splatter as they suggest, it's yellow with shiny speccles in, but it's not an official release which should be clearer on the product page.I wouldn't recommend

Is this the lowest quality Audiophile LP ever released?
what a total let down.Anyone getting in to Vinyl and being unfortunate enough to purchase this 180 Gram Audiophile Edition Vinyl LP to see what all the hype surrounding Vinyl is about would never purchase another Vinyl LP which would be a shame as there is some superb quality out there.This is not one of them. Absolute Low-Fi. I realise it does not state Hi-Fi but assumed it was implied by the 'Audiophile' term.Had to immediately play a standard non-audiophile LP to verify I didn't have some unknown issue with my equipment and restore my faith in Vinyl.I've heard better quality bootleg cassette tapes recorded on a Binotone tape player from the back of an arena!Some fantastic Eagles Tracks totally let down by this very low quality LP.On a brighter point - superb service from Amazon. Free delivery which turned out to be in one day.

Poor Quality Save Your Money
This eagerly and much anticipated vinyl arrived today and after a busy day I was looking for something to relax to. So to say I was seriously disappointed by the quality of this vinyl is an understatement.I understand its a very old and very early Eagles recording but it isn't the recording I am complaining about, its the state of the vinyl disc itself. It was badly marked on both sides with what looks like some sort of glue also had other marks and when played on my Beo system it jumped faster than a flea on a hairy dog - the disc quality is so bad I would not recommend it's just not a quality product.
