FP,
The first time I heard "Flip City" was on the Ghostbusters II soundtrack. This was in 1989, when my son was 4 years old, and was crazy about Ghostbusters, collecting all the figures, seeing the movie, and of course getting the soundtrack. I remember listening to "Flip City" with him over and over, and that was our favorite track on the album!
At that point, I knew that Glenn Frey was one of the Eagles, but I wasn't familiar with any other of his solo material. Little did I know how that would change nearly 20 years later!
