Given the extraordinary amount of airplay HOTEL CALIFORNIA garnered in the mid-70s and early '80s, it comes as quite a surprise to hear how fresh this recording sounds on DCC's 24k gold disc version. Familiar tracks benefit from the enhanced soundstage and control room-clarity of this exceptional digital remastering, revealing something of the actual recording studio room sound on many tracks.

A steady growth suddenly mushroomed into a monster as the Eagles, along with Fleetwood Mac, epitomized AOR in the early 70s. This record is supposedly a concept album but most of the purchasers merely enjoyed the accessible songs while driving down to the coast in their Volkswagen Caravanettes with 2.4 children. Joe Walsh was added to give gutsy guitar in the wake of the country flavour of Bernie Leaden, while Randy Meisner grew in stature as a writer with 'Try And Love Again' and 'New Kid In Town'. The title track still bites as Henley's voice blends with Walsh's epic solo.

Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida and the Record Plant, Los Angeles, California from March to October 1976.

The Eagles: Glenn Frey (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Don Felder (vocals, electric & slide guitars); Joe Walsh (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Randy Meisner (vocals, guitarron, bass); Don Henley (vocals, drums, percussion).

Engineers include: Bill Szymczyk, Allan Blazek, Ed Marshal.

Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.108) - Ranked #37 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...The highlight is the title track, a monument to the rock-aristocrat decadence of the day and a feast of triple-guitar interplay..."
Q (Magazine) (p.111) - "Recorded with new guitarist Joe Walsh, these autobiographical tales of druggy hedonism and angst comprised their strongest suite."

5 stars No Regrets!!
If you even think you like the Eagles, this is a must have album!! I bought the vinyl when it originally came out, and I am very glad that I now have it on CD. The quality is unsurpassed. No regrets here, and I'm sure that you won't have any either.

5 stars Eagles best job!
I heard this album a few years ago and I love it! Joe Walsh's voice and guitar in "Pretty maids all in a row" is amazing and "Wasted time" is one of the greatest ballads ever. "Hotel California" is a classic for american rock lovers!!!

5 stars Welcome To Hotel Life
The Eagles' creative pinnacle is a modern metaphor for everyday existence. "Hotel California" was the musical masterwork of a group of highly underrated intelligent musicians. I appreciate the impact of this album at age 50 far more than I did when it was released. All the songs flow together nicely making it an exceptional "concept album". A motion picture should be made out of this one.

5 stars It's a Must Have in any collection
As a 41-year-old mother of two adolescents, it is my duty to ensure my children are scholars of classic rock. By far, this album is the primer to any good musical education. Both the album and the single "Hotel California" have passed the test of time and still favorites of today's youth. I'm a college-educational professional that listens to the album at least once a day. My kids have their friends listening and learning the chords that Joe Walsh and Glenn Frey made legendary on this album. By far, the favorites are "Try and Love Again" and "Last Resort". It took until my adulthood to appreciate "New Kid in Town" and "Wasted Time." I thank my late father for ensuring that I embraced this album as a child - I'm now passing it on as there is NOTHING in today's music that comes close to the achievements on this album!

The title track finds the band flirting with the disco-funk sound they would pursue further on their subsequent album ONE OF THESE NIGHTS. "The Best of My Love" is the kind of flawlessly constructed '70s radio staple for which the term soft-rock was invented. The band's cover version of the Tom Waits ballad "Ol' 55" was perhaps the furthest from its origins any Waits composition ...

Don Henley's slinky, eerie "Witchy Woman" is another highlight, as is the languid, lovely "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" (both tracks appeared on THEIR GREATEST HITS 1971-1975, along with "Take It Easy").

Hotel California album
CD $14.29  Audio Samples
Req's Car Paint Scheme is a rare collaboration between two labels with competing interests but quite different audiences. Released by the perfectionists at Warp, who issue quality experimental techno with an unerring success rate, the tracks on Car Paint Scheme were selected by Damian Harris, the label boss of Skint -- the former home of Req and a label who saw the wheels come off their big-beat machine at the beginning of the millennium but continued releasing quality material from Lo Fidelity Allstars and Fatboy Slim. From the liner notes, it becomes clear that Harris played the editor on a set of tracks that, in some cases, Req had recorded years earlier; considering that the usual Req LP flaunts a certain thrown-together quality anyway, listeners could ...

Revenge
Janis Ian Revenge CD  (1995) (Import) Australia

Hotel California music CDs

Ian's newly authoritative grown-up sounding vocals are superb throughout. Some of the songs here ("Ready for the War," "Take No Prisoners") deal with sex in military terms, and "Stolen Fire" is a beautifully written and very adult examination of marital infidelity (she's against it). All is not sturm und drang, however; "The Mission" is a dry-eyed yet almost optimistic story-song about a homeless shelter, and "Take Me Walking In the Rain" is a catchy pure-pop ditty, like an adult version of an old Phil Spector epic. Australian import reissue of this previously ...
Because Nobody's Real
Make Amends Because Nobody's Real CD  (2007)

Hotel California songs
CD $9.59
Make Amends was conceived in a small dorm room in late June 2005, when three students of the Academy of Art University met to try out something new. Darren, on bass, had been playing for a few months with good friend Madison, who played guitar. The two had recently befriended a new student, Meghan, who had expressed a desire to get back into singing, after a long hiatus from choirs and vocal ensembles. Upon completion of their first song, they chose the name "Make Amends" after a prose piece written by a friend, and began to hammer out more material.In fall of that year, Jason, high school friend and former band mate to Darren, joined in on second guitar and the quartet recorded "What Remains of the Day", their EP, over a long night and into the following morning. Differing visions and hectic schedules seemed to spell the end for the group in the winter, and Jason eventually was forced to quit due to time constraints. The original three pressed on, slowed but not stopped, and eventually found new friend Taylor on guitar in spring of 2006. The four wrote new material, expanding out with a renewed energy.Summer of that year saw major changes to the band, in the loss of founding member Meghan (vocals, synth, and keys) and second guitarist Taylor due to creative differences. With shows already scheduled, the two ...
