Nice To Hear From You Again: Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" Revisited

Nice To Hear From You Again: Eagles’ “Hell Freezes Over” Revisited

After a fourteen-year separation, California’s legendary Eagles put their rivalries on hold for a miraculous 1994 reunion. The resulting album, Hell Freezes Over, collected eleven songs that were recorded for MTV in April of that year, plus four studio tracks. The album went 9x Platinum and boasted two Top 40 hits: the Don Henley/Glenn Frey-penned “Get Over It” and “Love Will Keep Us Alive,” written by Jim Capaldi, Paul Carrack, and Paul Vale.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Geffen Records will issue a standalone Bob Ludwig remaster of the album on CD and 180-gram double vinyl. (Ludwig’s remaster premiered on CD as part of Eagles’ 2018 career-encompassing box set from Rhino, Legacy.) Both editions are due out on March 8. Check out the full track listing and find pre-order links for the iconic Eagles album below!

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day.

Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.

Nothing new. Product.
As Don would say, no thank you.

Yes, yet another “anniversary” rip-off. I suppose we’re lucky, as fans, that they haven’t padded it out with a few extras and the surround-sound mix and charged a fortune for it. Talking of the surround mix, I only bought the DVD back in the day as I prefer surround mixes. So where’s a DVD reissue and BD/4K issue?

Would prefer to see the Version of Hotel California, as played in Phoenix, AZ…with Trumpet lead in.
