Eagles – Hell Freezes Over (180g Vinyl 2LP)

The Eagles’ momentous 1994 reunion album Hell Freezes Over sounds better than ever on this high-grade double 180-gram vinyl LP pressing remastered by Bob Ludwig. The album features the band’s line-up of the last studio album before their extended hiatus, 1979’s The Long Run: drummer/vocalist Don Henley, guitarist/vocalist Glenn Frey, guitarist/vocalist Joe Walsh, guitarist/vocalist Don Felder and bassist/vocalist Timothy B. Schmit. Hell Freezes Over contains four new studio tracks and 11 live recordings from the Eagles’ sessions at Warner Burbank Studios in Burbank, CA, recorded on April 25-26, 1994, and which became a top-rated MTV special.

Produced by the Eagles with Elliot Scheiner and Rob Jacobs, the album went on to spend two weeks at the top of the US charts and went nine-times platinum in America alone; it was also seven-times platinum in Japan and platinum in the UK and Norway. Hell Freezes Over inspired a massively successful two-year tour by the reunited quintet. It included the ballad and Adult Contemporary chart No. 1 “Love Will Keep Us Alive,” written by British artists Paul Carrack and the late Jim Capaldi with countryman Peter Vale. The album also featured the Burbank versions of such band favorites as “Take It Easy,” “Desperado,” “Tequila Sunrise” and the acoustic reworking of “Hotel California.”
