Description

Stunning example of the Eagles second studio album Desperado, signed by all four original band members

Desperado album by the Eagles, signed on the front cover in blue felt tip by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon. In very fine condition. The record is included. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from JSA and REAL.

After forming in 1971, the original four-man Eagles line-up would only release two albums: their eponymous debut in 1972 and Desperado, their sophomore follow-up, in 1973. Desperado remains the only Eagles album where the band members appear on the cover, with acclaimed photographer Henry Diltz capturing the memorable cowboy pose at Paramount Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains. Desperado also contains the first two songs ever written together by Glenn Frey and Don Henley—the classic title track and Tequila Sunrise, both of which were written within the first week of their collaboration. Today, Desperado is critically acclaimed and widely considered one of the Eagles' finest albums. Early and fully signed Eagles albums are highly sought after, with this particular example one of the finest signed Desperado albums we have seen.
