Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Randy Meisner and Don Felder have hand signed this copy of the gatefold sleeve LP “The Long Run” on the front cover in sliver and gold ink. When released in September 1979, The Long Run debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Pop Albums chart and a week later hit #1 dethroning Led Zeppelin’s In Through the Out Door. It was the last #1 album of the 1970s, and reigned for eight weeks in the #1 slot. “The Long Run” has sold more that seven million copies to date in the US alone (it was certified Gold and Platinum in early 1980 by the R.I.A.A.). The album generated three Top 10 singles, the chart-topping rocker “Heartache Tonight”, the album’s title cut, and the ballad “I Can’t Tell You Why”. Those singles reached #1, #8, and #8 respectively. The band also won a Grammy for “Heartache Tonight”. Also on the record was “In the City”, a song first recorded by guitarist Joe Walsh for the movie soundtrack for The Warriors. “The Sad Cafe” (about the band’s experiences at The Troubador in Los Angeles) and “Those Shoes” also received substantial radio airplay. A rare item with the signatures of both founding member Randy Meisner, and his replacement Timothy B. Schmit!
