Eagles
Long Road Out of Eden marked the Eagles' return to the studio by way of a double-CD set that was originally released as a Wal-Mart exclusive. It explicitly recaptured the band's original sound with a cover of band pal J.D. Souther's "How Long" which the Eagles had sung in concert but never on record. Don Henley and Glenn Frey rekindled their songwriting partnership, and the album contained songs from Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, sideman Steuart Smith, and another longtime friend, Jack Tempchin. A 2-LP configuration was pressed up at the time but in limited quantities. Now, fans will be able to find the album on record shelves once more, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in a gatefold with printed inner sleeves.
