Geffen/UMeThe Eagles‘ 1994 reunion album Hell Freezes Over celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and to mark the milestone, the mostly live collection will be made available as a standalone vinyl release for the first time in the U.S. on March 8. The album, which has been remastered by acclaimed engineer Bob Ludwig, will be reissued as a two-LP set on 180-gram black vinyl, as well as on CD.

Hell Freezes Over features 11 live performances recorded for an MTV Unplugged special in April 1994 in Burbank, California, as well as four new studio tracks — “Get Over It,” “Love Will Keep Us Alive,” “The Girl from Yesterday,” and “Learn to Be Still.”

Released in November ’94, the album spent two weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 late that year, and has gone on to sell an impressive 9 million copies in the U.S. In addition, “Get Over It” reached #31 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “Love Will Keep Us Alive” topped the magazine’s Adult Contemporary chart.

Hell Freezes Over boasted a reunion of the same Eagles lineup that recorded the band 1979 album, The Long Run — singer/drummer Don Henley, singer/guitarist/keyboardist Glenn Frey, lead guitarists Joe Walsh and Don Felder, and bassist Timothy B. Schmit.

The live portion of the album features a mix of Eagles hits and deep cuts, including “Hotel California,” “Tequila Sunrise,” “Take It Easy,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” and “Desperado.” There’s also a rendition of Henley’s 1989 solo gem “New York Minute.”

Hell Freezes Over was previously only available on vinyl as an import release and as part of The Eagles’ 2018 box set Legacy.
