Dang. There must be a way to confirm the correct date. [puts thinking cap on]

I wonder what the usually date is too. It probably is June 1st. We can celebrate it all month. LOL
Brothers for life. RIP Glenn
I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother.

Wikipedia is inconsistent. It has a release date of 1st June but later says it charted during its first week of release and links to the Billboard 200 chart for 24 June.
Rolling Stone magazine have a review of it dated 22 June:

According to something called the "Weekly Top 40" chart, the single "Take It Easy" debuted at #79 for the week ending Jun 3, 1972. Maybe the release date of the single is getting mixed up with the release date of the album, which I read was June 17, 1972.

Eagles 45th Anniversary Interview with the late Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner

Wikipedia is also user-edited, too; I always keep reminding me students of that, lol when they want to use it as a source on their papers, lol.
The lead singles were released before albums back in the day, typically, as you probably know, and the music magazines reviewed them early, so... I go for the later date. Again, though, it's up for debate!
PS Thanks for the link!
Happy 45th to the Eagles debut album, always loved the album cover and the fact it was so evenly displayed the singing and playing of each of the four. It captured some cool bluegrass/ rock arrangements, guitar laden pop rock and most importantly their specific brand of laidback downhome balladry. A perfect debut as it has a lot of ambition but alos isnt the finished product either; still had room to grow!
