Hotel California was actually released in 1976, but what’s a year between pals? The expanded version comprises a remastering of the original, delivering a tad more crispness and separation to the listening experience, plus a live rendering of the entire work.

This is a collector’s dream come true – a celebration of one of the biggest sellers of all time in a host of formats. It’s still marvellous, too.
