This set contains most all of the Favorites & Mainstays of the Eagles that have kept me glued to their Fan Base for Many Years. The Condiditon of the " Actual Box Set Container"- had been poorly taken care of- and since I am very Picky & Protective of my Possessions- I keep it a little less obvious ( The Box Itself). The CD'S ARE IN MY PLAYER REGULARLY- AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE " MEMORIES" PROVIDED EACH TIME THEY ARE PLAYED- AND THAT IS OFTEN. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CONTENTS OF THIS BOX SET- IT IS " FOR THE TRUE EAGLE FAN". I HOPE THAT FUTURE BUYERS ARE MORE FORTUNATE IN RECEIVING THE WHOLE PACKAGE- HAVING BEEN BETTER TREATED THAN THE ONE I HAVE. AND TRUE- "" ONE DOES NOT PURCHASE A BOX SET ""- FOR THE CONDITION OF THE PACAGE- BUT ITS CONTENTS.
Eagles Selected Works is a great deal! their music is arranged thematically which makes each disc a unique collection. Disc One contains their more country elements featuring Glenn Frey's lead vocals more prominently as well as Bernie Leadon guitar. Disc One has good plenty of ballads and faster tunes. Disc Two is Ballads. It is a collection of band's best ballads and it showcases the Eagles greatest strength; they are a rock ballad group with some of the best rock ballads every recorded. Don Henley's songwriting expertise and unforgettable vocals are the best, and the two Randy Meisner and two Timothy B. Schmit ballads show four frontmen who can sing. It is my favorite disc of the three. Disc Three is the Fast Lane, so named after their famous Life In The Fast Lane rock track. Three number one rockers are on this disc, Hotel California, One Of These Nights, and Heartache Tonight, as well as some deep albums rockers from their last three albums. This disc features Joe Walsh and Don Felder with their attack leads on guitar. Disc Four is a live concert from A Millennium Show in Los Angeles. It has two stand out tracks, Best Of My Love arranged with a more R and B feel and Peaceful Easy Feeling with great harmony vocals. Also of interest are live performances of Victim Of Love and Those Shoes, another highlight. The live performance of Hotel California is disappointing however, because the guitar mix doesn't sound right. Felder's lead guitar is quite a bit in the distance lacking power, not due to his skill of course but because of some mixing problem. Song selection was a little odd on the live disc. Please Come Home for Christmas Ol 55 and Funky New Year could have been replaced with better tunes like Lyin Eyes, One Of These Nights, and a Joe Walsh song like Turn To Stone. Still live disc is historic and a good listen. There is a good booklet with photos and interviews that has substance. the artwork for the CDs captures the Southwest with the desert in full bloom. Selected works is a 9/10Read full review

My husband and I have now been married for 24 years, and the longer we are together, sometimes it's harder to find that perfect little gift for him. I found this boxed set in almost perfect condition, and remembered when we were yound and how we would sing our hearts out to all The Eagle's hits....so I decided to purchase this boxed set, and I was thrilled when I got it, and had to hide it for two weeks so he would not know...Hiding little gifts from my hubby is the hardest thing in the world for me to do!! Our anniversary finally came and he always brings me breakfast in bed...Did I mention I have the best husband in the world??...I do!!! I could hardly contain myself after having coffee, and out I whipped The Eagle's boxed set....He was like a kid in a candy store!! He love it, and now it travels back and forth with him to work everyday. He tells me he hears a little something new everytime he listens to it, and that makes me one proud wife....Thanks very much for this item...It was a small way of showing him how much I love him... Sincerely, Debbye HicksRead full review
A fine and extensive box set, but probably more than all but the die-hard Eagles fan needs. There are several 2-disc compilations and live albums by The Eagles that could probably be just as satisfying for the casual fan or someone looking for a more handy compilation of this legendary group. One bit of constructive criticism: I wish each disc in the box mixed the ballads and rockers together a little more. The themed discs (all rockers on one, all ballads on another, all live songs on another)doesn't offer each disc much variation of mood. The group never made an album of just rockers or just ballads. Why set up the box set this way?
Helping bring back the High School beer party's. Late at night down by the river. A good listening habit to help bring back the way music use to be.
