The Eagles (UK) - March Of The Eagles (audio only)

Published 2009-03-27
From the only released album by this Bristol, England rock instrumental band "Smash Hits From The Eagles". Today they are a very underrated group, not much is mentioned about this band these days unlike other big instrumental groups like The Ventures and The Shadows.

    The exact cd I have - Smash Hits From The Eagles Plus. Good thing you have it. Finding that nowadays is extremely difficult. Fortunately, Sanctuary Records released a double cd in 1998 titled Smash Hits from The Eagles and The Krestels. Each band has its own cd. The Eagles disc has 30 tracks - more than what we have. The Krestels launched the careers of British songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway - they wrote Green Grass, You've Got Your Troubles, I'd Like To To Teach The World To Sing.
  • named after eagle house youth club in Knowle west Bristol and yes its still there

    thank u so much. we have similar taste in good old rock music. i'll often open ur postings...baka meron ka pang hard to find 45's e.g. the frolics, hi-jacks, drastics, tilt down men, etc...god bless

    Nancy, the Eagles UK only released one album and that's Smash Hits by the Eagles although they released several 45RPM singles and EPs. In UK kasi, pag nilabas sa singles, hindi nila nilalagay sa LP as standard practice especially during the 60s. In that way they make sure the people get their money's worth. Around the late 80s/early 90s, SEE FOR MILES record label compiled all the known recordings of the Eagles UK into 1CD. And that is what I have. It was also reissued on LP but so expensive!

    Or the cd you have could be a limited edition that is released in europe or Japan only.
  • The Lead guitarist of the Eagles, Terry Clarke taught me to play guitar in the days before they became successful.The band used to bring me their old strings when they came home. We were their 'baby band' 'The Eaglets' .We played and rehearsed at the same club they came from...The Eagle House Youth Club.  The Eagles always came to support us when home & vice versa. Sadly Terry died in 2008.  If interested, see my old bands recorded versions of some of their hits at: https://www.facebook.com/TonyBartlett45 or https://www.reverbnation.com/tonybartlett To easyvivo... The name is Kestrels...not Krestels! :) Probably why you couldn't find any info on them..

    Oh mine has 26 tracks. This was released in 1989 (not I got the exact release year). I'm pretty curious as to what cd of the Eagles do you have. Because from my research, the only release the band had with 21 tracks is the Vinyl version of my cd - Smash Hits From The Eagles Plus - which is essentially their only album plus 14 tracks from various singles and EPs. - Bryan..

    hi Sis Nancy... my friend gave me a cd...and just did not pay attention to it. I was cleaning my cd files, I found this cd and I did not know the content.... I went you tube and typed the - March of the Eagles, and it was Eagles Bristol, UK band. It has 21 songs: Exodus, Hava Nagila, Adila, Stranger on the Shore.....etc. but I did not know which album. The instrumentals were super good. Do you have an idea how many albums did the shortlive Eagles UK released. tnx...ed

    bp..I do not know anything about the Krestels..nothing shows up on youtube. tnx ed
  • @easyvivo
    bp...can you help me upload the pics like you did with the Eagles UK. I tried to follow the you tube instruction and I lose interest.... so I end up not uploading. tnx ed

    Sis....we have been looking for the Eagles music but we were looking at the wrong Eagles California instead of the United Kingdom or Britain... Do you have all the albums and you probably converted them to MP3s ? My classmates bands in Pinas would like revive their music. Maraming Salamat...ed

    Hi sis Nancy... like I said b4, I received (regalo) the Eagles UK cd and it has 21 songs. Does your cd have 21 songs? baka pareho ang cds natin. Last year, I started playing keyboard and I will try to arrange an Eagles UK medley and also the Beatles medley. I am busy playing accompaniment for a small prayer group and learning piano accompaniment also. Honestly, I am trying to make up for the years that I did not play the guitar since high school resulting into finger pain issues. tnx ed
