This box must have been re-issued as I have the original black box as shown in the 3rd photograph. However, for lovers of that gentle West Coast country-rock sound, this box is a must. Forget about those damn horrible plastic jewel cases, (jewel - junk is more like it!), these albums come in accurate reproductions of the original vinyl including the inner sleeves. If you had, or still have the original albums, but want to get the CDs, then buy this box - you will not be disappointed.
Is there any point in reviewing the albums themselves, well, not really with this band. However, the "bonus single" thrown in is little more than an oddity to me. One last thought though, as this appears to be a re-issue in the new livery of grey, it's a pity that it wasn't updated with Long Road Out Of Eden which would have been of more benefit than the single.
So, "One Of These Nights" let the "Eagles" take you with the "Desperado" on "The Long Run" down "On The Border" to "Hotel California", I bet you'll enjoy the flight and come back for more - maybe "Eagles Live".

+ 1/2 stars...The Complete Eagles on Asylum
15 Mar 2005
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a 9-CD limited edition (only 20,000 copies) of The Eagles' entire Asylum recordings from 1972's self-titled debut through 1980's EAGLES LIVE (on 2CDs) plus a bonus CD containing their 1978 holiday single "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Funky New Year." [Because this box set only covers the Asylum years, it does not include the 1994 Geffen album HELL FREEZES OVER or their 2003 single "Hole in the World."]
The CDs are housed in replicas of the original vinyl albums and include the original artwork. Serious Eagles fans will eagerly make the purchase, but casual fans will be content with 2003's 2-disc THE VERY BEST OF. After all, there is no bonus material here--even though none of these CDs are longer than 45 minutes (and the CD single is barely 7 minutes!).
There's no denying, however, the group's popularity. They have sold more than 83 million albums. [GREATEST HITS alone has sold more than 27 million!] Only the Beatles and Led Zeppelin have sold more records. Throughout the seventies, Don Henley and Glenn Frey were the Lennon and McCartney of the era, penning virtually all of their hits, including classics like "Best of My Love," "One of These Nights," "Lyin' Eyes," "Take It to the Limit" (with Randy Meisner) and "Hotel California" (with Don Felder).
This box set is a little pricey, but the music it contains is priceless. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Beautiful Box
14 April 2005
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This limited edition box set is a must have for any Eagles fanatic. There's nothing new here musically in the way of outtakes or remastering, but the presentation is amazing. Rhino has recreated the artwork for all the band's original 70's albums (and 1980's Live release) down to the smallest detail. From poster inserts to dust sleeves, each cd is meticulously crafted to mirror its record counterpart. Even the feel of the cd case are authentic from the unusual texture of On The Border to the raised artwork or One Of These Nights. This set is pricey, so casual fans will not be interested. As is the norm, Rhino Records has risen to the occasion with another superb reissue that is well worth the price tag.

Beyond The Hotel California
23 Mar 2005
Format:Audio CD
So many acts have come and gone in the 70's. While most of those performers have tried to withstand that test of time, it hasn't really worked out all the way for them. Nevertheless, there was just so music acts that so many people don't get tired of. Out of all of them from the U.S., The Eagles have really been one of those groups that keeps coming back again, and again. The songs they've made since the 70's have made them one of the greatest acts of all time, and scored them the biggest-selling album of all time with Greatest Hits 1971-1975. They have came back in the 90's and proved so many that theiir love has kept them alive, and so does the music.
The 2005 Eagles: Limited edition box set is a real wonder, as all of their Elektra records have fully been restored to the best quality possible. It is just the second box set the group has conjured that reflects this legendary group. The music keeps shining better than ever with great classics like Hotel California, The Long Run, Take It To The Limit, one of their first classics Desperado, and the deep Witchy Woman. It really is a deep feel for anybody who wants to have the full Eagles experience.
Yet, where there is so much great music, there happens to be a few disadvantages that are highlighted here. One of them is that box set overlooks the 1994 live reunion record Hell Freezes Over, where so many people got to relook at the magic Don Henley, Glenn Frey & company made. It also overlooks their recent comeback single, Hole In The World, which is just a great track. Another disadvantage is that others might want to consider another hits package because of the price, like their other box set Selected Works, or the 2003 well-showcased Very Best Of The Eagles compilation instead.
The Eagles haev kept the music shining for well over 30 years, and that is still being played all over the radio today. The Eagles Box Set is a absolute delight for anybody who loves to hear them, beyond extremes. I honestly suggest this as one of the very few well-placed box sets out there for anybody to own.
