The Eagles / Selected Works 1972-1999 / four-CD box set

selected works

It seems that the appeal of a simple 12-track greatest hits album has long since waned. Record labels these days are offering more for less. Rhino’s format of choice in the lead up to Christmas 2013, is the 4CD set, compacted into a ‘fatbox’ CD package with a slipcase. They are releasing the Simply Red Songbook collection in exactly this format and here they do the same for The Eagles.

Selected Works 1972-1999 is actually a repackage of a four disc box from 2000. The first three discs are themed:  The Early Years, The Ballads and The Fast Lane with the final CD capturing live performances from New Year’s Eve 1999 (A Night To Remember).

As with other reissued sets (Rod Stewart’s Storyteller, or Fleetwood Mac’s 25 Years: The Chain) Selected Works offers jaw-dropping value at little over £10 at the time of writing on Amazon UK. This surely all but guarantees its place in Dad’s stocking on 25 December this year.

Selected Works 1972-1999 is released on 25 November 2013
