Eagles Announce 40th Anniversary Edition of ‘Hotel California’
Eagles will release a deluxe edition of their classic Hotel California album to celebrate the record's 40th anniversary.
Even though the hit album was released in December 1976, most of its impact came the following year, when the LP shot to No. 1 and two of its singles -- "New Kid in Town" and the title track -- also topped the chart.
The new reissue -- which is due on Nov. 24 -- includes the album's first-ever remaster plus a disc featuring a concert from the Los Angeles Forum from October 1976, two months before the album's release. A pair of Hotel California tracks, the two No. 1 singles, are the only songs included in the set. The remainder is rounded out by past Eagles hits like "Take It Easy," "Take It to the Limit" and "One of These Nights."
You can see the track listing below.
The "Deluxe Edition" will also include Blu-ray audio with high-resolution stereo and 5.1 mixes. It comes packaged in an 11 x 11 hardbound book featuring rare and previously unpublished photos from the era, a tour book replica and a poster. The 10 live tracks make their debut here and are culled from the band's three-night run at the Forum.
