Overview of the Deluxe Edition Release
Rhino Records has announced the release of a deluxe edition of the Eagles' fourth studio album, *One of These Nights*, set for May 1, 2026. Originally released in June 1975, the album marked a significant milestone for the band, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featuring hit singles such as "One Of These Nights," "Lyin’ Eyes," and "Take It To The Limit." This deluxe edition will be available in two formats: a 3CD+Blu-ray set and a 3LP vinyl set.
Content and Features
The deluxe edition includes a new mix of the original album by Rob Jacobs, alongside a previously unreleased 16-song concert recorded on September 28, 1975, at Anaheim Stadium, California. This concert was notable as it was the last performance featuring original member Bernie Leadon, who departed the band shortly after the album's release. The 3CD+Blu-ray set will feature the new album mix and the live concert in both Dolby Atmos and hi-res stereo formats.
