The Eagles Vinyl LP The Long Run Album (Asylum Records 1979) 5E-508 NM/NM+
The Long Run is the sixth studio album by the American rock group the Eagles. It was released in 1979, on Asylum in the United States and in the United Kingdom. This was the first Eagles album not to feature founding member Randy Meisner, who was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit. This was the last studio album until 2007's Long Road Out of Eden (though four studio tracks were included on 1994's Hell Freezes Over) and their final studio album for Asylum Records.
When released in September 1979, The Long Run debuted at #2 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart and a week later hit #1. It was their last #1 album of the 1970s, and stood for eight weeks in the #1 slot. The Long Run has sold more than seven million copies to date in the US (it was certified Gold and Platinum in early 1980 by the RIAA).
The album generated three Top 10 singles, "Heartache Tonight", the album's title cut, and "I Can't Tell You Why". Those singles reached #1, #8 and #8 respectively. The band also won a Grammy Award for "Heartache Tonight". Also featured on the record was "In the City", a song first recorded by their guitarist Joe Walsh for the movie soundtrack for The Warriors.The original vinyl record pressings of The Long Run (Elektra/Asylum catalog no. 5E-508) had text engraved in the run-out groove of each side, continuing an in-joke trend the band had started with their 1975 album One of These Nights:
- Side one: "Never let your monster lay down"
- Side two: "From the Polack who sailed north"
