This is a great stack of old magazines and other print media ... don't you wish your doctor had a stash like this in his waiting room? A new article will be posted here daily; as the collection grows you will have the opportunity to discover facts about the band and it's members that you never knew, see some great photos, and become more familiar with what is out there, as far as collectable paper is concerned.

For those of you who have read Marc Shapiro's 'The Long Run,' this will also give you endless hours of enjoyment, as you are finally able to attribute all those mis-quotes to the persons who actually said them.

For those of you who bid on Ebay and other auction sites, you can benefit from this new and growing archive, because it will give you a chance to peek in between the covers before you bid. Hopefully now, and especially in the future as this grows, it will help guide you as you try to decide on items: if it is a good article, you'll know what magazine, issue and date. If it doesn't interest you, you can avoid it.

There is only so much of this old stuff to go around, and there is really no way to be able to collect it all. For those of you who can't or don't want to get caught up in bidding wars, or who are unable to get out and go to record shows, or who simply cannot afford collecting, this is for you.

For those of you who collect, if you have found this to be a helpful resource to you as you research the band or the old print available on the band, consider sending items from your collection that are not featured here. Seen a small but interesting blurb about the Eagles in a vintage mag, long forgotten? Have a really great review from your hometown newspaper? Send them here and a comprehensive and reliable source of information for all can be developed. Why depend on "writers" like Shapiro and Eliot to give you their bungled or slanted interpretation on the band when you can read the history for yourself?

What you see below represents the highlights: some are long articles, some are very brief. All of them offer a glimpse at rock history, and cultural evolvement. There are also reviews and some fun bonus items to be revealed along the way.

Special Thanks to Freynatic, who will be sharing her lifelong collection of Eagles/Frey memorabilia with us.

Previous Features:
California Rock, California Sound
This first article really isn't an article; it's the Eagles chapter in a long out-of-print book: California Rock, California Sound. Written by Anthony Fawcett with all photography supplied by Henry Diltz, it is a remarkable document of the Southern California music scene in full blossom, and it's rarer than rare. If you never get a chance to get your hands on a copy of your own, at least you can read the Eagles chapter here!

Penthouse: Glenn Frey's Hot Pursuits
You have seen some of these photos before . . . those mysterious, sexy, and highly sought-after sweater modeling shots that appear on the Desperado web site. The ladies of the internet have been wondering about those for years. Finally, thanks to the marvels of Ebay, they have surfaced: and the delightful part is, there were several more photographs in the Penthouse feature, and a brief but interesting article in which Glenn discusses his "upcoming" series South of Sunset. Also, for the guys, two photos of South Of Sunset co-star Maria Patillo- both are modeling some really unique and beautiful sweaters. A true feast for the eyes!

Music Express: Flying Solo
GREAT and apparently overlooked interview with Glenn just as Soul Searchin' was coming out. "Bounding enthusiatically around his impressive Coldwater Canyon digs in skintight bicycle stretch pants," Glenn takes on marriage and divorce, hyper-fitness and over-indulgence, music and commerce and gets a few digs in on Neil Young. Features two terrific color photos from the Soul Searchin' album cover shoot.

Rolling Stone: Eagles Versus The Grey Skies of London
Small glimpse of the band as they languish at the end of a dark London winter.

Rolling Stone: Chips Off the Old Buffalo
One wonders if the anybody in the group went out and bought five copies for his mother . . . Cameron Crowe's excellent article shadowing the emergence of the band into superstar status: first of two cover stories Rolling Stone has done on the band.

Also in this Issue
Joe Walsh appears in a small supplement titled: Ears Only

First time Don, Glenn and Tim had appeared on a stage together since 1980... a harbinger of the resumption tour.

Rolling Stone: Wings Over America
The rumors are confirmed and the Eagles are ready to go back out there and reclaim their territory. Glenn takes on those who criticized the ticket prices.

Circus: Eagles Kick Up a Sundance

Hit Parader: The Eagles
Introductory and very complimentary article by the same writer who would later write the better-known Crawdaddy article, which follows here:

Crawdaddy: One of These Nights
In the throes of their Hotel California state of mind, Barbara Cherone catches up with the Eagles in a bungalow of the Beverly Hills Hotel. Both the band and the writer are older and wiser and, yes, much more cynical than when the Hit Parader article was written. Interesting and telling contrast.

Circus: Fishing With the Eagles for the Universal Trout
Interview with Don Felder finds him at the Caribou Ranch/Recording Studios at Big Sur, and captures his thoughts on joining the Eagles.

Summer of '76 and the world belonged to rock and roll and the people who played it.
