Eagles - Long Run (CD)

MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED ON MOFI SUPERVINYLOriginally intended as a clever poke at the era's trends that critics maintained were making the band irrelevant, the title of and music on The Long Run continue to prove The Eagles got the last laugh. Created in the wake of an exhaustive tour for Hotel California and the first album to feature Timothy B. Schmidt, the 1979 album ultimately became the final record the group would create for nearly three decades. Stacked with first-rate material and three mammoth singles, it ensured The Eagles never drifted far from the public consciousness and ended up moving more than seven million copies. Mastered from the original analog master tapes, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited and numbered, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP vinyl box set presents The Long Run in unparalleled sound.
