Growing up in Singapore in the '70s, the Eagles were the quintessential American band. I loved their hits and sang them (really out of tune) with the radio: Desperado with its country influences; The Last Resort ballard; country pop that is Lyin' Eyes; soul and R&B influences on One of these Nights; and most of all the harder rocking Hotel California. When the band broke up in 1980, Don Henley famously said that they would play together again "when hell freezes over".
The album hit #1 on the Billboard charts and sold 6 million copies (unfortunately most of them digital). A good copy of the original 1994 Dutch-pressed Geffen LP is almost impossible to find - and when you can find it, it would cost well over $100. There was a heavyweight 180gm re-issue in 1997 by Simply Vinyl, and that can be even more expensive.
However, if you don't want to pay the hundreds of dollars for a copy of the vinyl, here are IMO the best versions on digital: One of the DVD re-issues has "This disc is encoded with an uncompressed PCM soundtrack for optimum stereo fidelity" printed on the back. This is the original 24-bit/48kHz master and it sounds fabulous. The next best was the JVC XRCD2 version mastered and pressed at Flair Studios in Japan.
