Best of Their Love: Eagles LPs Boxed Up on Vinyl

September 12, 2013 By Mike Duquette 8 Comments

EAGLES_Vinyl_BoxSome seven months after packing up all of the Eagles' studio albums in one CD box set, Rhino's at it again, doing the same for those six albums on vinyl.

The Studio Albums 1972-1979 collects all of the Asylum-era LPs - Eagles (1972), Desperado (1973), On the Border (1974), One of These Nights (1975), Hotel California (1976) and The Long Run (1979) - and replicates the original packaging almost entirely to the letter of the original releases. We say "almost" thanks to two upgrades made by Rhino for these releases: the sleeve of the first album will feature no glue flaps, so the cover will fold out into a poster. (This plan was first detailed in this year's History of the Eagles documentary.) And the insert poster featured in initial pressings of Hotel California will now be presented in full color.

This new box will be released October 29, in a limited run of 5,000 copies, each in a numbered, foil-stamped slipcase. If buying the box (priced at $157.40 on Amazon as of this writing) doesn't set you entirely back, the band will be playing shows throughout the year, including a run at Los Angeles' famed Forum in 2014.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    I'd love to buy this just to give the poor band members some much needed income, but that price point is beyond my limit for vinyl copies of albums I already own on CD (and one, Hotel California, that I still own on MFSL LP). Sorry guys.

      What's weird is the MSRP from Rhino's press release was actually $149.98, which is a little less than what Amazon's got it for.

      I think a friend once told me, maybe around the time the band reunited for their last album, that part of the press release marveled about how they broke a pricing record for tickets - as though that's a good thing. *sigh*

        I try not to let the financial aspect affect my enjoyment of their music, but it does seem like they delight in taking as much money as possible from their fans. I guess as long as people keep paying the prices they're asking for, nothing will change, and you can't fault them for trying to earn as much as they can. It would be nice, however, if they priced their product so that as many people as possible could afford it, instead of doing these pricey limited edition sets.

      An investment in the Henley/Frey Retirement Fund? (insert smiley face here)

    Exactly who is going to buy this box? The real vinyl albums sell for about 50 cents at used stores, garage sales, etc. $150 for replicas? They're going too far!
