Desperado

My Eagles collection is now complete.If you love them tooYou will enjoy these amazing CDs

I know the Eagles are noted for going away from Country Rock in the albums after this. What makes this album a masterpiece is that the songs make you feel what the Doolin and Dalton gang felt. Songs are all well done and fit the theme. They did not make another album as cohesive as this in the Country Rock vein. This may be the greatest Country concept album of all time.

First, this arrived earlier than promised. Second, this was the best packaging I have ever seen for a single CD. This company is obviously really concerned that their Customers receive the the item shipped without any flaws. As for the CD itself, this is the best sounding version of the Album Desperado I have ever heard. The clarity is incredible. You can hear the individual instruments and voices like their stranding in front of you. Yet the sound still maintains the integrity of the the original mix.

This is their best, most creative album. I never get tired of it. Every song is so well-crafted and beautifully-produced. I recently watched their documentary and I cannot believe that it "bombed" when it came out. That's crazy! I bought it immediately---I was in high school and they were my favorite band (still are)--and I played it constantly. It holds up well, too. To me, this exemplifies the Eagles--the whole California vibe, the country rock thing, Their image will always be, for me, tied to this album. I love how Jackson Browne and JD Souther are actually in the photograph on the back of the album, as outlaws! I really miss Glenn Frey and hope others give this CD a listen and appreciate the genius that was the 70's Eagles. I love their other stuff too, but this is the pinnacle, for me. It was good to see them on the Grammys as a tribute to Glenn, with Bernie Leadon, too, and Jackson, but it seemed like CBS really messed it up, production-wise.

Shipped on time, the new upgraded recording is crisp and very clear and concise. Awesome

I only buy CDs for music I like, so of course I like the music itself. The Eagles got better with almost every CD.I can't remember the last time I got a CD from Amazon that didn't have either the case busted or the teeth on the center wheel that hold the CD in place have broken and fallen out.I am reminded why I buy fewer CDs than ever from them. I'm guessing the package just gets literally 'dropped' at the base of the door?

This review is for the quality of vinyl pressing, not for the album itself. The record that I got is quiet, heavy and hasexcellent sound. This is one of the quietest record that I have. Generally, the Eagles record sound excellent. I have both greatest hits, Hotel California, On the Border, Desperado and Hell Freezes Over. They all sounds wonderful. However, this is the second Desperado that I got from Amazon. The first one clicked and crackled as soon as the first song was playing. Luckily, I made the right decision to request for a replacement and Amazon has been very generous about it. So, if you like the Eagles, I would highly recommend the album. Greatest hits is great, but listening to a whole album gives a better representation of the band in general. This one is no exception.

Remastering of old recordings in SACD format vastly improves sound quality.
