One of These NightsImport pressing of their 1975 album One Of These Nights. Vinyl replica CD comes housed in a slipcase. Rhino UK. 2006.The Eagles exploded on the charts in 1975 with One of These Nights, the first of four straight albums by the band to reach No. 1. The album was their most varied to date, with the discofied title track, the stately waltz “Take It To the Limit,” and the tough, cynical country rocker “Lyin’ Eyes.” The album contains a couple of unusual numbers as well, including Bernie Leadon’s psychedelic banjo showcase “Journey of the Sorcerer” and “I Wish You Peace,” which Leadon wrote with his then-girlfriend, future first daughter (by virtue of her parents, Ron and Nancy Reagan) and nude model (courtesy of Playboy), Patti Davis. –Daniel Durchholz

Hotel California [Vinyl]Import pressing of their 1976 album Hotel California. Vinyl replica CD comes housed in a slipcase. Rhino UK. 2006.It’s no accident that The Eagles Greatest Hits might one day pass Michael Jackson’s Thriller as the best-selling album of all time– the Eagles made great singles. By contrast, their albums could be spotty and strained by self-conscious artistry. Hotel California was arguably the band’s best single album–it was certainly the Eagles’ biggest original disc– and it also underscored the band’s need to make a big statement. The title tune reflected the album’s theme of paradise lost in California, painting this picture with a musical arrangement that punctuated strumming guitars with dramatic drums, and perhaps the band’s most famous lyric: “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” “New Kid in Town” was an equally fine albeit much more traditional Eagles ballad. “Life in the Fast Lane” aspired to hard rock but largely gunned its engine without taking off. The rest is okay, but nothing more than secondary Eagles songs that happened to be nestled into the album that came to define the `70s supergroup. –John Milward
