- Hotel California 40th Anniversary 2-CD (Rhino)
It's hard to believe, but this December marks 40 years
since the release of the EAGLES' landmark album, "HOTEL CALIFORNIA."
The album spent eight week at #1 in the U.S., spawned two #1 singles, won two
GRAMMY Awards, and sold more than 32 million copies around the world. Forty
years later, it still ranks as one of the best-selling albums of all time.
CLICK to ENLARGE |
To mark the milestone, "Hotel CALIFORNIA: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition," a new 2-CD/1-Blu-Ray Audio will be released FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24th. The set includes remastered sound, ten previously unreleased live recordings, as well as hi-res stereo and 5.1 mixes. Presented in an 11 x 11 hardbound book, it also features rare and unseen photos from the era, a replica tour book, and an 11 x 22 poster. Both a 2-CD Expanded Edition and 1-CD version will be available, along with digital download and streaming versions.
The set also marks the debut of ten live tracks that
were recorded during the band's three-night stand at the Los Angeles Forum in October
1976. The concert recordings - which were recorded about a month before the
album came out - feature one of the first ever live performances of the album's
#1 singles, "Hotel California" and "New Kid In Town" along
with other EAGLES classics.
The EAGLES made their triumphant return to the stage
this summer at the Classic East/West festivals, earning raves from critics and
fans alike. More live dates are planned for this fall, with the band being
joined on stage once again by country superstar Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, son
of EAGLES founder, Glenn Frey.

(22 Nov 2017) Actor and singer David Cassidy has died from
complications related to dementia.
The 67-year-old The Partridge Family star passed away
on Tuesday (21 Nov 2017) at a Fort Lauderdale area hospital in Florida, his
long-time publicist JoAnn Geffen has confirmed to Variety.
The actor and musician played Keith Partridge on the
beloved U.S. TV show for four years, becoming one of the 1970s' biggest pop
icons.
Brian Wilson and Marie
Osmond were among those paying tribute to David Cassidy following his
death.
The 67-year-old The Partridge Family star passed away
at a Fort Lauderdale area hospital in Florida, after being admitted with kidney
failure and in need of a liver transplant. He had also been battling dementia.
After publicist JoAnn Geffen confirmed the tragic news
of his passing, hordes of celebrities took to social media to pay their
respects to the legend, who played Keith Partridge on the beloved U.S. TV show
for four years, becoming one of the 1970s' biggest pop icons.
The Beach Boys star Brian tweeted: "I’m very sad
to hear about David Cassidy. There were times in the mid-1970s when he would
come over to my house and we even started writing a song together. He was a
very talented and nice person. Love & Mercy to David and his family."
Marie, who found fame with her family group The
Osmonds around the same time as the height of David's fame, wrote:
"Heartbroken over the passing of #DavidCassidy. He graced the covers of
teen magazines w/ my Brothers in the ‘70s. My condolences to his Family. #RIP

(24 Nov 2017) Following the release of Taylor Swift’s
unanimously critically-acclaimed U.K. #1 album, reputation, the ten-time GRAMMY
award winner has announced the U.K. & Ireland dates for Taylor Swift’s
reputation Stadium Tour.
Taylor Swift’s reputation Stadium Tour is set to
arrive in Dublin (Friday 15th June 2018), Manchester (Friday 8th June 2018 - Etihad Stadium) and London
(Friday 22nd June 2018 - Wembley Stadium)
Subscribers of TaylorSwift.com had access to purchase
tickets in advance beginning Wednesday 29th November. General sale on December
1st. Tickets available
from Ticketmaster UK
Taylor Swift’s reputation Stadium Tour is produced and
promoted by Live Nation and S.J.M. Concerts in the UK, MCD in Ireland, and the
Messina Touring Group (MTG) and AEG Presents in North America.
(24 Nov 2017) Every time Taylor Swift releases an album, she decides how to make it available -- and streaming service executives decide
she's completely wrong.
Swift's new album, Reputation, sold 1.212
million copies in the U.S. last week, according to Nielsen Music -- and 2
million all together worldwide. But Swift's decision to withhold the album from
streaming services "kind of sets the industry back a little bit,"
according to Troy Carter, Spotify's global head of creator services, who spoke
at an Internet conference that took place before sales numbers were available.
Although streaming services offered the singles from
Reputation, most of the album's sales came from digital and physical stores.
Even without streaming -- which accounted for 62 percent of the U.S. music
business in the first half of 2017, according to the RIAA -- Reputation
actually sold better than the rest of the Billboard 200 combined.
At some point -- maybe soon, maybe not -- Swift will
let streaming services offer all of Reputation. There are any number of guesses
when this will happen -- after Christmas, after six months, the day Katy Perry
releases her new album.

(20 Nov 2017) Taylor Swift's takedown
of artists Katy Perry and Kanye West may harm her album's chances of winning
big at the 2018 Grammy Awards.
According to editors at British newspaper The Sun, the Shake if Off singer decision to continue her feuds with Fireworks
singer Katy and rapper Kanye hasn't gone down well with members of the Grammys
voting committee. The 27-year-old also takes aim at exes Calvin Harris and Tom
Hiddleston on new album Reputation, but it has reportedly infuriated industry
figures, including members of the Grammys jury, who have worked with Katy and
Kanye.
“A lot of people
on the voting committee are not liking Reputation at all," an insider
told the publication. The super-ambitious singer's move to declare open warfare
on her enemies appears to have lost her some support.
(24 Nov 2017) Unlucky
in love Taylor Swift reportedly thinks she’s found The One in British beau Joe
Alwyn.
The pair have been quietly dating since the start of
the year, and while they’re yet to confirm their romantic status or even be
spotted out together, friends of the couple say the relationship is in a great
place.
“Privately,
Taylor has made no secret of the fact that this relationship is different to
any that have gone before,” an insider told Britain's Grazia magazine. “She met Joe at her lowest ebb, during the biggest
backlash of her career, but Joe isn’t interested in Taylor’s celebrity and
wanted to get to know the real her. “Spending time together away from the
spotlight allowed things to develop naturally, without outside pressures, and
Taylor is convinced that this is the real deal. She’s told her family and close
circle of friends that she believes Joe is The One, and that she can see
herself marrying him. He’s younger than some of her exes but the relationship
feels very adult.”
In recent years Taylor has enjoyed very public flings
with older beaus Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston, though her romance with Tom
made them both a laughing stock after their PDAs fizzled out as quickly as they
had begun.
The 27-year-old singer, known for penning tracks about
her ex-boyfriends, released her sixth studio album Reputation earlier this
month (Nov17), and those close to her say there’s no chance 26-year-old actor
Joe will make it on to a diss song.
(24 Nov 2017) Americana
Singer Elle King has heaped praise on her estranged husband for making it 10
months sober.
The Ex's &
Oh's Americana star took to Instagram in the early hours of Friday (24 Nov
2017) to share a message with fans after celebrating America's Thanksgiving
holiday on Thursday (23Nov17), and proved she still has a lot of love for her
ex, Andrew Ferguson, as she posted a photo of the pair, taken following their
secret wedding last year (16).
"Somebody smart told me that every day should be
national grateful day. Not just thanksgiving," Elle began her reflective
note. "I just want to say that I am grateful to have made it through this
year. And the guy I married is 10 months sober today.
"I'm proud of him setting a good example. I know
I'm no example for anybody, but I am trying to walk the walk of what I hope to
receive from the world in my life. I'm grateful for forgiveness and new
beginnings."
"I'm proud of you Ferg," she concluded.
"10 months is a long time to be sober and I'm grateful for you being
alive."
The 28-year-old, daughter of comedy actor Rob
Schneider, did not share any further details about the reasons which led to
Ferguson's decision to clean up his lifestyle.
Elle announced the sad news of their breakup in a
social media post back in May (17), when she also revealed the couple had
actually been married for over a year, after secretly tying the knot just three
weeks into its romance.
"My heart is broken. My soul aches. I am
lost," she added. "He is the greatest love of my life. He is my best
friend. As we separate, and attempt to find our footing through life, all I can
hope for us is that we both find happiness within ourselves."
The musician went on to battle a bout of depression,
but has since moved on from the failed relationship by striking up a romance
with rocker Josh Logan in September (17).
