The Eagles - Soul Pole 3 (1977)

In the 1970's it was producer Bill Szymczyk's habit to put together a compilation of funny studio moments that he'd recorded through-out the year at various recording sessions that he'd overseen, and he'd send them out to friends and family as Christmas presents. This happened while he was producing The Eagles' 'One Of These Nights' albums, and the two-disc set has become something of a legendary item, as it was limited to just 50 copies and given to all participants as Christmas gifts on 12 December 1977. It includes outtakes/jam sessions, jokes, studio chatter, and recorded phone calls between band members, and there's a lot of vulgarities and some "mature content", so be warned. Cleaning up this battered vinyl copy became a labour of love for the owner of this copy, returning every so often with different software to remove more clicks and pops, until what we have here is probably the best sounding version of the album that you'll hear.
