Re: Hotel California 40th Anniversary New CD reissue
IMO buying a HC deluxe edition and supporting the current lineup are two separate issues. When you buy it, as far as I know some of the money goes to the guys who are on the album and not people who aren't - like Vince Gill. And those who are on the album deserve to get paid for their great work - even though some of them are doing something you may not like at the moment. I don't like what they're doing now, but it wouldn't stop me from buying it if I cared for it. So go for it, Austin! I do understand, however, that your main point was that before this you wouldn't have hesitated at all.

Chaim - Well said and I could not agree with you more.
Re: Hotel California 40th Anniversary New CD reissue
I'm definitely putting this on my Christmas list!
I have the DVD-A and the tourbook, so theoretically, the $100 version isn't worth it for me.
But I will ask for the $100 version anyway, because I'm a completist - the exact fan this is aimed at -the fan who will buy the same album, repackaged, again and again and again, because there's just a couple things she doesn't have... in this case, the other stuff in the book.
And as a hardcore of both bands I have to agree with Phil that Fleetwood Mac's 40th anniversary reissues really put this one to shame. How I wish we could have gotten something like that for the Eagles!
Re: Hotel California 40th Anniversary New CD reissue
I want to get the 100 dollar one. I love keychains, but I'm not paying 140.00 to get that with the t-shirt. I'm actually fine with getting the book, tour book, and posters. I hope they will sell the keychain separate down the road.
I probably going to buy it next year. I got so much going on for the rest of the year.

Thanks for the amazon link. I refuse to buy anything through "Wonderful Union" which, unless they've vastly improved, has a long history of botching orders. ("Wonderful Union" is what the official site uses for some reason. I have always felt the people behind "Wonderful Union" must have something on Azoff for him to tolerate their incompetence.)
Re: Hotel California 40th Anniversary New CD reissue
I'm super excited about this, and am definitely getting the super duper deluxe version. Yahoo !!

What are the chances the price will drop next year? I also want to get the 3-disc set. I already have the tour book which I bought from eBay (did the band re-print those or did they have a whole lot left in stock?) but I’d like the other extras too.
Re: Hotel California 40th Anniversary New CD reissue
Good question Delilah. Did the price for the box set go down a year or so after it was released ? Too long ago for me to remember.
Re: Hotel California 40th Anniversary New CD reissue
I don't think the prices went down after a while. I did on both Eagles and Don's website that they are not selling long deluxe extra stuff.
Re: Hotel California 40th Anniversary New CD reissue
I don’t know about the Eagles box set. I do know that Amazon and other online retailers periodically reduce prices on these types of releases. I don’t think that ever happens on the Eagles’ own website though.
