Alfred's Classic Album Editions series highlights the most important albums of our time. A true classic has lasting significance; it may establish a new style or direction, and often, a true classic album may help define an era. Hotel California is a pivotal album in the collection, obtaining overnight popularity and success with album sales reaching over 16 million in the U.S. alone since its debut in 1976. The Eagles' legendary presence in the music world requires little explanation. Known as one of the top five bands of all time, Hotel California became their fifth album to hit the charts, with the singles 'New Kid in Town,' and 'Hotel California,' reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. To this day, the album receives top rankings on virtually every publication's list of top albums of all time, including VH1 and Rolling Stone magazine. Alfred presents the album-matching folio to Hotel California. Songs include lyrics, melody line, and chord changes with professionally arranged piano accompaniment.
