The Long Run: Which version is going to make it?

We’ll find out in this Eagles shootout review: 2 CD’s versus OG vinyl

The Long Run, the Eagles’ sixth studio album, is a little like “those debutantes in Houston” mentioned in the title track. It couldn’t hold a candle to its predecessor, Hotel California. That album was so huge, so iconic, that anything in its wake was bound to suffer in comparison. Add to this the fact that The Eagles totally loathed one another by this point in their career, and you can see why The Long Run felt shallow and moribund.
