One step forward from the major label-driven business, two steps back to the usual greedy ways. I wish ‘Long Road Out Of Eden’ would disappear from the charts because people are so pissed off by all this, but unfortunately most people are so used to it that they won’t even mind.
These Deluxe Edition strategies are really a drag.
@GovernmentNames: That makes it even more despicable, because the only people who do give a damn about that stuff (long time, hardcore Eagles fans) have most certainly already plunked down for the first double-disc!

When did businesses decide that standard operating procedure should be to routinely punish their most loyal customers?
I think it’s best that we break this to Eagles fans after their nap. They’re less cranky.
The Eagles greedy? Say it ain’t so!
Has anyone noted yet that album cover looks like one of those new age synth noodling + nature sounds albums?
Let’s not get crazy here — the original album was already a double CD, they’re just adding 2 songs, not a whole bunch of bonus music. If anyone’s stupid enough to give a damn about thicker liner notes and red linen wrapping, let them waste their money.

The return of such suckage may be unholy, but whenever Joe Walsh earns money, I make a wish …
