	Building The Perfect Beast Used - LP - GHS 24026 Rare 1984 Columbia Record House Pressing With Custom Inner Sleeve. “After Experimenting With Synthesizers And A Pop Sound On His Solo Debut, Don Henley Hits The Mark On His Sophomore Release, Building The Perfect Beast. This Album Established Henley As An Artist In His Own Right After Many Successful Years With The Eagles, As It Spawned Numerous Hits. While The Songs Seem Crafted For Pop Radio, It's Hard To Fault Him For Choosing Arrangements That Would Get His Messages To The Masses. Unlike Most Pop In The 1980s, However, Henley Had Deep Intellectual Themes Layered Beneath The Synthesizer Sounds And Crisp Production. In The Opening Song "Boys Of Summer," He Talks About Trying To Recapture The Past While Knowing That Things Will Never Be The Same. Henley Has A Gift For Writing About The Heart And Soul Of America And For Mixing His Love For The Country And Small-Town Life ("Sunset Grill") With Cynicism About Government ("All She Wants To Do Is Dance") And Modernization ("Month Of Sundays"). Although The Politics And The Sound Of The Album Make The Decade Of Release Easy To Place, Henley's Earnest Delivery And Universal Messages Give Many Of The Tracks A Timeless Feel, Which Is No Small Feat. This Is Henley's Most Consistent Album, And It Is The Place To Start For Those Wanting To Sample His Solo Work.” Vik Lyengar, AMG. more

Shrink Wrap Intact. “Don Henley Took Some Time Before Completing His Highly Anticipated Third Album, The End Of The Innocence. Although He Manages To Duplicate Much Of The Magic Of His Previous Album, Henley Has Backed Off Of The Synthesizers And Expanded His Musical Palette. He Uses Background Vocals To Great Effect, Whether It's The Tragic Ballad "New York Minute" (With Vocal Group Take 6) Or The Angry Rocker "I Will Not Go Quietly" (With Axl Rose Of Guns N' Roses). His Collaboration With Bruce Hornsby On The Opening Title Track Show A Mature Henley Singing About Disillusionment Over A Beautiful Piano Riff That Gives The Song A Timeless Air Of Nostalgia. While He Still Tackles Political Issues And Writes About Small-Town Life In America, Henley Also Mixes In Romantic Ballads, Including The Closer "Heart Of The Matter." In This Epic Song, Henley Explores The Emotional Complexity Of Relationships And Coming To Terms With Oneself During The Aftermath. Throughout The Album, He Manages To Balance Being Cynical Yet Hopeful, And His Great Melodies Allow His Poignant Lyrics To Penetrate. This Album Is Highly Recommended For Those Who Like Their Pop Music With A Message.” Vik Eyengar, AMG. more

	I Can't Stand Still Used - LP - E1-60048 1982 Original With Custom Song Sticker On Shrink. Saw Cut.Glossy Vinyl. "Don Henley's First Solo Album May Still Have Had The Ghost Of The Eagles Lingering In The Corners, But For The Most Part It Showcases His Stalwart Partnership With Producer And Songwriter Danny Kortchmar. Lyrically, Henley's Songs Are A Tad Weak, But For An Inaugural Album From A Man Who Had Spent Most Of His Career Surrounded By Multi-talented Musicians And Writers, On The Whole It Fairs Quite Well. His Material Deals With The Hardships Of Love, The Fickleness Of The Media, And The Declining State Of Education, All Induced With A Friendly Pop Sound. The Title Track, A Trouble-in-paradise Love Song, Has Henley Pouring His Heart Out With Sugary Angst, But Is Helped Along With Some Avid Keyboard Work. "Dirty Laundry" Is Henley's Attack On The Shallowness Of The Network Newsperson That Peaked At Number Three On Billboard's Top 40. Its Bouncy Chorus And Contagious Organ Riffs Proved That His Role As A Musician Could Conform To Any Style. His Social Commentary Comes Into Fruition With "Johnny Can't Read," Loosely Based On The Increasing Amount Of High-school Dropouts At The Time And Helped Bolster Henley's Reputation As A Musician With A Concern For Pressing Issues. Numerous Musicians Help Him Out On This Album As Well, Including Former Eagles Members Timothy B. Schmidt, Joe Walsh, And J.d. Souther; Drummer Jeff Porcaro And Guitarist Steve Lukather, Both From Toto; And Even Warren Zevon. Don Henley's Adept Combination Of Lyrical Wit And Thought-provoking Staidness Begins To Materialize On I Can't Stand Still, Paving The Way For An Extremely Accomplished Solo Career."
