Description

Rare test pressing of their most successful album, Hotel California

Original Asylum Records label copy of the test pressing for Hotel California signed in blue and black felt tip by Don Henley, Randy Meisner, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, and John Felder, with an inscription added in an unknown hand, “Dear John—Keep on doing what you do—Thanks for the inspiration. Our best to everyone at WMMS.” In fine condition, with some scattered light wear and a numerical notation next to inscription. The record is included and is labeled, "Test Pressing," and references its use in only determining the technical quality of the recording. A rare find, indeed, as only a handful of these signed advance test pressings were signed by The Eagles, primarily to disc jockeys and promo men. RR Auction COA.
