Ladies and Gents, you are looking at the 13th (no jynx here) biggest selling album in the history of the world. It is official. With 16 million copies sold over the past quarter century, "Hotel California" easily, and with comfortable margin, outsold the Beatles' "Red”, “White” and “Blue" albums, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", Bee Gees' "Saturday Night Fever" , Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA", every single Led Zeppelin album (except for Led Zep IV), and so many other multi-million platinum-sellers that it's not funny anymore. Clearly, the boys must have done something right on this one. Alas, one album they could not outdo: their own "Greatest Hits 1971-1975" which, with more than 27 million copies sold over the past 26 years, remains the biggest selling album ever.The eagles soar high, indeed.

Of those 16 million sold copies, we have a privilege of presenting here one of the few remaining STILL SEALED original copies. A piece of history, or what?

For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, this album was voted one of top-100 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted in 1987 by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (click here for the complete album listing)

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. A few light, visible but totally insignificant, scuffs noted at the beginning of side 2.

(b)            The album comes with the original poster still intact.

(c)             The record comes in its original, custom, inner sleeve, which is UNIQUE to this album.

(d)            The record is apparently pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(e)             Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
