Re: Remastered Eagles' CDs
It seems some re-mastered CDs are over-hyped and don't make that much of a big difference to the listener, especially a listener with an old player. Sometimes I think all the "remasters" they put out are simply ways to trick fans into buying the same albums over and over again. However, without comparing them side by side, I can't really say how much of a discernible difference there is in sound quality.
Have you thought about getting the box set (linked below)? I have it and it's a terrific way to get the whole catalog at once - it includes all the original album artwork - even posters!

It doesn't include Hell Freezes Over, though (nor LROOE, obviously).
Re: Remastered Eagles' CDs
Thank you for your thoughts Soda.
Following your suggestion, I've spent the last couple of hours debating getting the boxed set. Much as I would love to get the set, I don't think I can justify the extra cost, especially when so many charities could put the 'dollar difference' to such good use.
On the other hand I could still indulge myself, and send off the 'dollar difference' as penance. :smile:
I might have to think about this for another couple of hours. :grin:

and I did spend more than that on a Barry Manilow boxed set in my (slightly) younger days. (Not quite sure which smilie is suitable after such a confession!)

Eat Drink and be Merry. You will be judged by the toys you accumulate <LOL>
Re: Remastered Eagles' CDs
I don't know if this is how it is everywhere else, but my local Walmart has all of the remastered Eagles 70's studio CDs, except Hotel California, for $7.00 each. I thought this was a pretty good deal considering they are at least $12.00-$18.00 at other stores. So I now have every 70's album.

Thanks Cosmic Cowboy - and welcome!
Re: Remastered Eagles' CDs
You could also trawl around eBay. Its easy to pick up an album for as little as $1.
Re: Remastered Eagles' CDs
The 2-CD set called The Very Best of the Eagles has a nice selection of old hits. It might be a good Christmas choice, too.
Re: Remastered Eagles' CDs
Well, I thought and then I thought some more, and after deciding that the airfare to Cowboy's local Walmart would probably negate any savings on the CDs :grin:, I opted for the cheaper option of the un-mastered CDs.
Much as I would have loved the box set, I wanted Disney's Peter Pan, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty too, and there is only so much money I can sneak out of hubby's account before he notices. :shh:
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and suggestions.
Re: Remastered Eagles' CDs
I have just sold my originals on ebay so I could buy the Remasters.
They definately sound better. But why is it so difficult to track down
