    Default Remastered Hotel California?

    Amazon, etc. shows a 2006 or 2007 remastered version of The Eagles, Hotel California. I have the 1990 CD and it's one of my favorites. Is the remastered version worth the upgrade? If so, what release date and label should I look for?

    To date, the best version is the DCC gold disc. The way most remasters are done today, compressed/hot, I'll bet the DCC issue will still be the best.

    Sorry, that one doesn't sound as good as the DCC issue and you don't need a TT.

    I have several DCC gold CDs (I'm afraid I don't have Hotel California) and they are stellar!

    What would be a fair price for a DCC Gold version of Hotel California? Where are some good places to look for one? Thanks for the info!

    I don't think there is a fair price any longer. It's long out of print and going for big money on eBay.

    By far the best version of Hotel California I've ever heard is the DVD-Audio version. Simply stunning detail. Anyone else have both the DCC and DVD-A version. How do they compare?

    I have the DVD-A version, which is very nice. I have not heard the DCC version.
