I have read numerous interviews with Glenn where he stated TALA would have been the next song released from HC had Randy not left. It's a shame, because I really love that song. However, I agree that if it was released who would sing it since Randy was no longer with the band. Sadly, it made no sense to release it.
I believe that Felder has stated that the title track of his most recent album, Return To Forever, originated from the mid-seventies, which places it on that same cassette as "Mexican Reggae".
I wonder if the wonderful talents of Glenn and Don could have made a decent Eagles track out of it
Thanks for the correction Freypower and apologis to Felder, he deserves better than my careless attitude.
I can't think of anything that Walsh may have presented to the band during the making of Hotel California. The Eagles feature on Joe's solo LPs before and after HC but I think the gaps are too long to think any tracks could have turnrd up on Hotel California.
I was so disappointed to read in a recent Don H interview that nothing in the vaults will ever be released but then Hell did freeze over!
