Here is a SEALED very 1st Pressing THE EAGLES Hotel California LP Asylum 7E-1084
This is an excellent album that came out in a great era and would go on to become one of the best selling lp's of all time. Yet, it is extremely difficult to find a SEALED earliest pressing like this one. The initial pressings (7E) started in December 1976 and lasted into the first half of 1977. Then around June/July 1977 a huge 2nd pressing was done as this album was becoming hugely popular. The later much more common pressing was issued with catalog #6E and lasted into the 80's.
But this specimen is even more special.. it is the very earliest pressing possible!! The very very first copies came with only a simple small 'Eagles' sticker. That's because the hits had not been radio tested and established yet. Within a few months of air play, they knew the hits and devised a larger hype sticker that included the most popular hits. So when you see a copy in shrink (or sealed) with this little sticker, you know it's the earliest pressing possible.
The cover is in awesome condition, basically no surface rub at all. Solid corners and edges except top right corner has a slight impact crease and spine has 3 tiny scuffs). This album, as in all early pressings, will have the fold out poster of the band inside. This is a super hard to find specimen!!
VINYL: Mint (Sealed)
COVER: EX++ Minor wear on one corner and spine. 2 breather holes on back.
SPLITS: NO, solid edges and spine
I pack very well using double box or other very reinforced packing (take vinyl out of opened albums), describe items accurately and usually ship within 5 business days. Thank you for shopping at ClaudeUSA.
