"Eagles: Legacy" Box Set available November 2

On November 2, a new career-spanning Eagles box set is coming out called Legacy. You can read all about it in a lot of detail on the official Eagles site, but to sum up, it includes:

* Re-releases of  all of the Eagles' studio albums, Eagles Live, Hell Freezes Over, the Millennium concert CD from the Selected Works, the Hell Freezes Over DVD, and the Farewell 1 Blu-Ray.

* First-time-on-CD ultra rare B-sides "Get You in the Mood" and "Funky New Year" as well as first-time-on-CD "single edits" and "single versions" of several songs (specifically, "Take It Easy", "Outlaw Man", "Best of My Love", "One of These Night", "Lyin' Eyes", and "Take It to the Limit"). For those who don't have Very Best of the Eagles, this is also your chance to get "Hole in the World" and "Please Come Home for Christmas" on CD.

* A 54-page book full of "rare and unseen photos, memorabilia, and artwork that encompasses the band’s entire career."

The price for all of this: $180.

Vinyl collectors: you can get all of the above sans the videos as a vinyl box set for $350.


Eagles.com also offers bundles with a T-shirt; it adds $20 to the price, but it's a pretty cool T-shirt (IMHO).

You can preorder now.

Note: For those with Facebook, there's a 15 second video on there promoting the box set if you want to check it out. Very atmospheric.

The Border is Open Again

The Border is open! There are probably going to be a lot of bugs and we're sporting an awful default look thanks to the fact that we had to reinstall with a software upgrade and thus lost all our customized styles, but we can once again post.

Thank you to Kay S. for coming down to my place to help me work this out, and for those who are contributing to help pay for the software upgrade and server space (we also abandoned the old server which was going down so often). I will thank you by name unless you want privacy - let me know what's OK!

Border Down

During a recent server transfer, the code of our message board, The Border, was corrupted. I hope to be able to fix it and restore everything, but first I have to figure out how.  Since I am going out of town Thursday and won't be back until Monday night, the board may not be back online for a while. Please just keep checking back here and I will post updates when I have them.

Glenn Frey has died

Sadly, Glenn Frey passed away on January 18, 2016.

Prayers for his family and all of us who love him so very much.

If you'd like to leave thoughts amongst fellow fans, use the message board.

 This is the message from the Eagles website:

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of husband, best friend, father, comrade, and Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016.

Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia.

The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery.

Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.
