Why buy the DCC Gold 'Hotel California'?

I know. i've been trying to get this one the last couple of months.I should have gotten the sealed copy i saw in San Luis Obispo last year. Oh! but i do have the DCC LP!

 

Who are the Eagles?

 

Is this thread going to go on like the "Please ignore" thread?

 

I have 3 copies (1 sealed) of the Hotel California DCC CD and 4 copies (2 sealed) of the Eagles Greatest DCC CD... am I mad??

 

(Yes, one more for the thread! I couldn't resist...)

Had lost a bid for the S/T "Blood Sweat and Tears" on UDI/Mofi...to make up for it, I luckily saw DCC's "Hotel California" on eBay via the "Buy it Now" feature an hour ago. I bought it. (Big surprise.) $32: NM+/slipcase. Call me a happy camper...

 

It's one of my favorite records and still one of the best sounding DCC remasters... I love it!!!

 

Yes this is a great sounding transfer (I have both the CD & LP) BUT even in the seventies I really disliked the Eagles. 25 year laters both the Ramones & Televison sound fresh (along with Patti Smith). I always though the Eagles were boring. Maybe as a New Yorker who hung out at both Max's & CGGB's I just couldn't get into that layed back LA cool.

 

There is a slight possibility. Just tell me you don't have 300 sealed Pez dispensers or anything kooky like that!

 

You don't want to sell one of your sealed Eagles - Greatest Hits DCC, to a guy like me in Kent by any chance?

 

One of my last great DCC finds!!! Found a sealed copy of this for only $15!!! Keep looking Ron, one will turn up. Haven't run into anymore Doors CD's in my travels!

 

Got mine on E bay 2 weeks ago for $28 with shipping..... excellent.
Part of the reason I think it went so cheap was it was listed as Greatest Hits but the listing read and showed Hotel California. I'm a happy camper!

 

I dont want compare formats but what about the DCC vinyl? is good?

 

I have the CD and the vinyl. Both wunderbar. Incredible bass.

 

both wow
wadarbar = both are great?

 

Both are great. Steve if I recall correctly had to bake the tapes and also track down the correct speakers to monitor them on.

 

Buy it-it sounds like a warm blanket of pillowy guitars and vocals. It just has that Criteria Studios sound-warm and rich

 

You betchya.
