The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 (Asylum) ****
Barbara Charone, Sounds, 28 February 1976
MORE THAN other greatest hits collections, this album signifies the end of an era for the Eagles. With the departure of Bernie Leadon and the arrival of Joe Walsh, the Eagles future seems uncertain. As breakup rumours persistently abound, this greatest hits package could serve as an early epitaph to one of LA's finest.
