The Eagles’ Hotel California was a critical and commercial phenomenon when it was released in December 1976. The album topped the Billboard charts for eight weeks in the U.S., won two Grammy® Awards, sold more than 32 million copies around the world, and featured two Billboard #1 hit singles. It was a massive album that dominated the charts around the world in 1977. 40 years later, it still ranks as one of the best-selling albums of all time.

This fall, the milestone album will add to its legendary lore with a new 2-CD/1-Blu-ray Audio deluxe edition that includes the original studio album, ten previously unreleased live recordings, as well as hi-res and 5.1 mixes. Presented in an 11 x 11 hardbound book, the set also features rare and unseen photos from the era, a replica tour book, and three stand-alone posters. HOTEL CALIFORNIA: DELUXE EDITION will be available on November 24th.

HOTEL CALIFORNIA: DELUXE EDITION opens with a recently remastered version of the original album, featuring twoBillboard #1 singles — “New Kid In Town” and the title track — plus the smash hit “Life In The Fast Lane.” The album was nominated for five Grammy Awards, and won for “Record of the Year” and “Best Arrangement For Voices.”

The collection also marks the debut of ten live tracks that were recorded during the band’s three-night stand at the Los Angeles Forum in October 1976. The concert recordings — which were recorded about a month before the album came out — features one of the first ever live performances of “Hotel California” and “New Kid In Town” along with other Eagles classics including “Already Gone,” “Take It To The Limit,” and “Witchy Woman.”

The Blu-ray Audio disc that accompanies HOTEL CALIFORNIA: DELUXE EDITION features the 5.1 Surround Sound mix originally released on DVD-A in 2001 along with a hi-resolution, 192 KHz/24-Bit stereo mix. HOTEL CALIFORNIA will also be available in 2 CD and 1 CD 40th Anniversary Editions, as well as HD, MfiT, standard digital and streaming formats.
