Eagles: Hotel California (SACD)

Released in 1976, "Hotel California" became one of the most successful albums in music history ever. After five triumphant years of record sales and energy-sapping tours, the Eagles' lightheartedness was gone. Instead, Don Henley, Don Felder, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner and Joe Walsh undertook a journey through the darker side of L.A., the dazzling metropolis on the West Coast, where dream and nightmare lie so close together. The fascination with the Beverly Hills Hotel, the myth of Hollywood set in stone, moved the band to research hotels in general. The result was an iconic song whose exegesis continues to this day. "Hotel California" became a worldwide phenomenon that still appeals to music fans of all generations with its picturesque melodies, narrative depth and simplicity. The hybrid SACD is released in a numbered edition mini-LP cover.
