The Eagles took 18 months between their fourth and fifth albums, 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 flavour, 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.
On the six songs to which he contributes, Henley sketches a thematic statement that begins by using California as a metaphor for a dark, surreal world of dissipation; comments on the ephemeral nature of success and the attraction of excess; branches out into romantic disappointment; and finally sketches a broad, pessimistic history of America that borders on nihilism

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, fresh and unmarked labels - a couple of light spindle traces per side
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new - some light hairlines from the inner - all harmless
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with a deep, rich and warm sound - an odd one-off tick noted but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spines
SLEEVE: MINT
As crisp, clean and sharp as the day it was made
INNER SLEEVE: MINT
Again, as-new - no seam splits
INSERT: MINT
