The Eagles’ Lost Album ‘Midnight Flyer’ Surfaces After 38 Years

 

In a shocking discovery, the Eagles’ lost album ‘Midnight Flyer’ has surfaced after 38 years, sending shockwaves through the music industry. The album, which was recorded in 1985 but never released, features 10 previously unheard tracks, including the title song “Midnight Flyer”, “Lost in the Moment”, and “Wildfire”.

 

Background

The Eagles were one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, with hits like “Hotel California”, “Take It Easy”, and “Desperado”. However, after the release of their 1980 album “The Long Run”, the band members went their separate ways, and it seemed like the Eagles were no more. But in 1985, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit reunited to record a new album, which would eventually become ‘Midnight Flyer’.

 

Recording and Abandonment

The album was recorded at Henley’s home studio in Los Angeles, with the band members working together to create a new sound. However, due to creative differences and personal tensions, the project was abandoned, and the album was left unfinished. The master tapes were stored away, and it seemed like ‘Midnight Flyer’ would never see the light of day.

 

Discovery and Release

Fast forward to 2023, when a team of archivists and engineers stumbled upon the long-lost master tapes while digging through the Eagles’ vault. After careful restoration and remixing, the album is finally ready for release. “We’re thrilled to finally share ‘Midnight Flyer’ with the world,” said Don Henley. “It’s a piece of Eagles history that we thought was lost forever, and we’re excited for fans to hear it.”
