How Eagles: Their Greatest Hits Became the Best-Selling Album of All Time

In record stores worldwide, usually floor-bound stacked in unruly piles, often dusty, combed through daily by digging fingers, are boxes of dollar-priced records. These boxes, with rare exception, are filled with the same things: water damaged wax, one-hit wonders, tribute records, covers albums and – mostly – compilations. In a broad stroke, compilations lack sequencing and narrative. They are built, not grown. They aren’t original visions, they are recycled collections. Never a career highlight, they are rather a simple recap of previous triumphs. Unless, of course, that compilation is The Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975). For your chance to hear it live performed by Classic Albums Live, join Arts Commons Presents on Thursday, April 18 in the Jack Singer Concert Hall at Arts Commons.
