EAGLES "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" TEST PRESSING,EAGLES "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" TEST PRESSING, BAND-SIGNEDA 1976 test pressing of the Eagles' monumental rock album Hotel California , signed in blue marker by all five principal band members: Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Randy Meisner, Glenn Frey, and Don Felder. The jacket is inscribed: "Jimmy - Thanks," and "7E-1084 A/B" (the record's US release code).A photocopied spec sheet gives the date of the Asylum Records label copy as 11/12/76. The matrix of the vinyl is inscribed "IS IT 6 O'CLOCK YET" on side one, and "V.O.L. IS FIVE-PIECE LIVE" on side two.
It is unclear who the "Jimmy" of the inscription refers to: Musician Jimmy Buffett opened shows for the Eagles beginning in 1975, and he quickly grew to be close friends with Frey and Henley, later giving their Rock and Rock Hall of Fame induction speech.Industry veteran Jim Ed Norman arranged and conducted for the record, before his long tenure as the president of Warner Bros. Unfortunately, these possible addressees of the inscriptionare speculative only.
Hotel California still stands as one of the high watermarks in the history of the rock genre: Not only is the record consistently ranked on rock critics' all-time top 100 lists, it is also presently the third highest-selling record of all time.
Condition
The vinyl is in beautiful condition, with hardly any sign of use. The record jacket shows a little soiling/ staining from age, the top edge has split, and the bottom edge has partially split. The paper sleeve is present, lined in plastic that has cracked. Everything is protected with a clear plastic overcoat.

GRAND CURIO CABINET COMMISSIONED FORGRAND CURIO CABINET COMMISSIONED FOR MARK HOPKINS SAN F...Pottier and Stymus Aesthetic Movement Grand Curio cabinet commissioned for the Rosewood Music Room (which was adjacent to the Library) in the Mark Hopkins residence, San Francisco, CA. The mixed metal marquetry inlay design and other decorative elements relate to a rosewood cabinet from the same room formerly in the collection of Warner Bros Studios now in a Northern California collection as well as the Lady's Secretary in the Newark Museum. The intricately carved oak leaf frieze is nearly identical to a desk commissioned for the adjacent library that had descended in the Washington St. home of Timothy Hopkins until it was sold at auction in 1997 for $96,000. The Grand Curio cabinet was not acquired by the Studios and is in near new original condition. Circa 1875-1880. Dimensions: 95"h x 84.25"w x 17.25"d. Provenance: Sacramento Bishop's mansion thence to private collector.
One of the most prominent and largest American design and manufacturing firms of high quality furniture of the Victorian period, Pottier & Stymus produced furniture in the Neo-Greco, Renaissance Revival, Egyptian Revival, and Modern Gothic styles. The company supplied furniture to the President's office and the Cabinet Room in the White House in 1869, and for the homes of such well-to-do families as the Rockefellers and railway baron Leland Stanford.
