2008 ‘vinyl replica’ edition of this best-selling 33 tracks two CD set. With a career spanning over four decades
The Eagles are among the most successful Rock ‘N’ Roll acts of all time. The original Eagles compilation, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, remains one of the best-selling records of all time and this updated two CD collection contains all the same hallmarks that made it so successful, with some welcome surprises. The staple recordings remain, with ‘Hotel California’ the most immediately recognizable, as well as hits like ‘Lyin’ Eyes’ and ‘New Kid
in Town’. Also included is their single ‘Hole in the World’, written as a response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Like many of The Eagles’ songs, the difficult and confrontational subject matter is softened by their trademark vocal harmonies.
„The Eagles are often reviled as the paragons of white powder-fuelled, egotistical, arrogant West Coast rock, but
that’s only half the story. Sure, they were the most cynical, money-obsessed part of David Geffen’s empire, but
they were also musicians of the highest calibre. They took elements of soft country-rock, pin-sharp harmonies
and the singer/songwriter as modern day ‘outlaw’ myth, and sold millions of records.
This double disc collection, replete with commentaries on the songs by individual band members, offers up
ample evidence of their commercial genius. From their smooth mixing of cowboy chic with the songs of JD
Souther and Jackson Browne („Take It Easy”, „The Best Of My Love” etc.) to the high octane, twin axe depictions
of a self-obsessed showbiz world („Life In The Fast Lane”, „Hotel California”) Don Henley, Glenn Frey et al have proven themselves to be utter pros at delivering the hook-laden goods.” – Chris Jones
