Footnotes

Eagles is the debut studio album by the Eagles. The album was recorded at London's Olympic Studios with producer Glyn Johns and released on June 1, 1972, by Asylum Records. It was an immediate success for the then-new band, reaching No. 22 on the Billboard 200 and achieving a platinum certification from the RIAA.

Glyn Johns worked with many of the most famous rock recording acts from both the UK and abroad, such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, the Kinks, Eagles, Bob Dylan, The Band, Eric Clapton, The Clash, Steve Miller Band, Small Faces, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and Joan Armatrading. Johns was known for preferring a live, natural approach to recording in the studio, and developed a method of recording drums sometimes referred to as the "Glyn Johns method".

Stephen Stills recommended Gary Burden and Henry Diltz to the Eagles, Bernie Leadon said that they "were the cool guys to have work on your album".
