1976 Classic Los Angeles Rock LP Gets Repressed on 180 gram vinyl and replicates the original album packaging - which means that includes a replica of the poster from the original issue with band photos by Norman Seeff in full colour.
The Eagles took 18 months between their fourth and fifth albums, reportedly spending eight months in the studio recording Hotel California. The album was also their first to be made without Bernie Leadon, who had given the band much of its country flavor, and with rock guitarist Joe Walsh. As a result, the album marks a major leap for the Eagles from their earlier work, as well as a stylistic shift toward mainstream rock. An even more important aspect, however, is the emergence of Don Henley as the band's dominant voice, both as a singer and a lyricist.

The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. The original lineup consisted of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner, who had all previously performed with Linda Ronstadt, contributing to her 1972 self-titled album. The group signed with Asylum Records and released their debut album, "Eagles", in 1972. The album produced the US and Canadian top-20 singles "Take It Easy" and "Witchy Woman".
Their second album, "Desperado" (1973), peaked at number 41 in the United States, and although the title track did not chart as a single, it gained lasting popularity. In 1974, Don Felder joined the band, contributing to the album "On the Border", which included the top-40 single "Already Gone" and their first number-one hit in the US and Canada, "Best of My Love". The 1975 album "One of These Nights" became their first US number-one album and achieved top-ten status in several other countries. It featured the US number-one single "One of These Nights", as well as the top-five hits "Lyin' Eyes" and "Take It to the Limit". That same year, Leadon left the group and was replaced by Joe Walsh.
In 1976, the band released the compilation album "Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)", which went on to become the best-selling album in the United States, with sales exceeding 38 million copies. Later that year, they released "Hotel California", which sold over 26 million copies in the US and more than 32 million globally. The album included the US and Canadian number-one singles "New Kid in Town" and "Hotel California", the latter also becoming their only top-ten hit in the United Kingdom and reaching the top ten in several other countries.
In 1977, Timothy B. Schmit replaced Meisner. The following year, the band released "The Long Run", which featured the US number-one single "Heartache Tonight" and the top-ten hits "The Long Run" and "I Can't Tell You Why". The band disbanded in 1980 but reunited in 1994 for the release of "Hell Freezes Over", a combination of live recordings and new studio material, followed by a series of tours.
In 2007, the Eagles released "Long Road Out of Eden", which became their sixth US number-one album. This was followed by the Long Road Out of Eden Tour in 2008. In 2013, they began the History of the Eagles Tour, coinciding with the release of a documentary of the same name. After Glenn Frey's death in 2016, the band resumed touring in 2017 with his son Deacon Frey and country artist Vince Gill sharing lead vocals. Deacon Frey departed in 2022 but returned in 2023 for the band's final tour. Randy Meisner died in 2023.
