The doors to the Hotel California are opening anew.

On November 24, Rhino will deliver a new 2-CD/1-Blu-ray Audio set of the 1976 Eagles classic that includes the remastered album, ten previously unreleased live recordings, as well as hi-res stereo and 5.1 mixes.  Hotel California: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is housed in an 11x11 hardbound book offering rare and unseen photos from the era, a replica tour book, and an 11x22 poster. Additionally, a 2-CD Expanded Edition (with both of the box set's CDs) and 1-CD standard remastered edition of the original album will also be available, along with digital download and streaming versions.

Hotel California may be the apex of the band's "high times and rock 'n' roll" attitude.  Eagles' first album without Bernie Leadon, and with Joe Walsh, Hotel California embraced a darker, more "rock" sound, and the dominant voice of drummer Don Henley, who co-wrote the epic title track with frequent collaborator Glenn Frey and then-bandmate Don Felder.  Hotel California's nine songs add up to a mini-travelogue of the seamier side of the Golden State, from "Hotel California" to "The Last Resort," from "The New Kid in Town" to "Life in the Fast Lane."  The band was famous for its excess, and that sensibility isn't reined in on Hotel California.  Instead, it's at the service of a tight collection of songs that resonated with listeners far beyond the Los Angeles city limits.  Hotel California topped the Billboard charts for eight weeks in the U.S., won two Grammy Awards, notched sales of more than 32 million copies around the world, and yielded two Billboard No. 1 hit singles.

The second disc of this collection debuts ten live tracks recorded during the band's three-night stand at the Los Angeles Forum in October 1976. The concert recordings - which were recorded about a month before the album came out - feature one of the first live performances of the epic "Hotel California" and "New Kid In Town" along with other Eagles favorites including  "Take It Easy," "Take It To the Limit," "One of These Nights," and "Witchy Woman."  The Blu-ray disc included in the deluxe box gives a wider airing to the immersive 5.1 mix made in 2001 for DVD-Audio (and subsequently released in Japan on SACD) along with a 192/24 stereo mix.

As the Eagles take flight on tour with Vince Gill and Glenn Frey's son Deacon, the time seems right to start livin' it up once again at the Hotel California.  You'll find existing pre-order links below, and we will update with remaining links as soon as they go active!
