Anyone receive any Eagles related gifts for Christmas?

Wow!! I got the same thing for Christmas. I wonder if mine is the same way. I'd check but i don't have a record player. I guess i'll just have to keep wondering.

No you don't! Just look at where the major grooves are that separate the songs. Long Road Out of Eden is considerably longer than NMWITW. The groove after the first song would be a lot further in.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check that out.

It's been so long since I've messed with LP's. Reading your reply got me to thinking: Would a 4 minute song on the outside of the platter take up more or less in the number of grooves than one that is 4 minutes long that is on the inside of the platter? I know that the outside of the platter will have further to travel to traverse an equal angle with the track that is further inside. Yet it is traveling at the same RPM (33-1/3).

That makes me wonder if the same length track would have a different "thickness" (distance from start of the track to the end of the track measured radially) because of this seed difference?

Just curious. I used to know these things but that's been 40 Years Ago! I know they were coming out with radial arm turntables to eliminate the angle of the stylus depending on whether it was tracking on the outside or inside. With a radial arm, it would make no difference where with an arm that pivots, the angle constantly changes as the stylus travels from the outside of the vinyl to the inside.

I got two framed single LP's, one for "One Of These Nights" and one for "Desperado," a Legends of Rock book just cuz the guys were in it, and one of those fake California license plates that say The Eagles on it.

Great gifts!

I'll echo 'Great Gifts' as well.

My brother gave me the 'Hotel California' songbook, and the kiddies got me a build-a-bear polar bear which they christened 'Glen Eagle'. I have changed his name already by deed poll to 'Glenn Eagle'
Oh and I got a fuschia computer mouse from my Kris Kindle in school.

In fairness my family have often said they WOULD get me Eagles stuff but they have lost track of the amount of memorabilia that I have already

I'm going to follow up a little on this in "Gearheads" in the "Anything Else" category of off-topic banter if anyone is interested.

I didn't receive any Eagles related gifts this year but I did give a few of them. For my mother I got her the Eagles Very Best Of cd. She loves it. For my niece, Natalie, I got her a Hotel California tshirt. It was the cutest thing to see her run to her room to put it on right away. I loved seeing the excitement on her face when she opened that gift.
