From me, too.

It's behind glass doors in a bookcase in my office, while another copy of the CD is stored with the rest of my Eagles/solo CDs.

Nice to be in the same 'club' as you, NOLA - we love 'our Don!'

Here's an article from the Guardian. He also briefly talks about Don Felder. Tell us how you really feel, Don. LOL

A good article.

So glad you are enjoying the records! They have a wonderful and loving home!

I had heard that the new 180-gram vinyl LPs have a clearer and sharper sound than CDs. Seems that more artists are releasing vinyl versions of their albums. Who knows - maybe the 8-track or cassette may make a comeback, too.

Vinyl definitely is making a comeback. In just over a year's time, I went from thinking "vinyl is old and outdated" to now having a collection that's overflowing(I'm running out of room for storing them. I'm not the only one. People my age are discovering the richness of the sound of vinyl, and people of my mom's age are rediscovering what they grew up with. All in all, I think it's a good thing.
I only have one problem with reissues, it's when they cost more than the original copies. Case in point: Bad Company's Straight Shooter album. Earlier this year, I was in FYE, and they had a used copy of that album for $5 and the new reissue was $30. Despite Bad Company being my favorite band, I just couldn't bring myself to pay $30 for a new copy. (It wasn't the brand new cd/vinyl reissue with the bonus cd or record. That's still on my want list).

Back to CC, the vinyl sounds amazing, just so rich. I'm glad that CC was released on vinyl.

Now, cassettes still have somewhat of a following, but 8-tracks? Most of them, you can't give away!

I love the vinyl version - I've just been listening to it and I have to say that Don just sounds AMAZING!!!!!

The young-uns are talking about Don Henley.

It's nasty ; http://www.stereogum.com/1834828/don...eres-the-beef/

Surely this belongs in the Don Henley forum? I'm afraid I can't move it. Stuff like this is posted on the internet every day. Fortunately we have this board where for the most part we can keep this stuff away.

Frank Ocean turned Hotel California into American Wedding. He's since become a highly respected artist. By dissing Frank Ocean and Kanye West, Don shows a high level of ignorance and alienates a huge potential audience for the Eagles.

Don's been harping on about how he listened to the radio (for free) as a kid. Today's kids don't listen to the radio, they're on YouTube. They are just as much products of their environment as Don is.

Felder should team up with Frank Ocean to produce their own version of American Wedding but I believe Ocean has honoured a request, not to sing it again.
