Hits Magazine Tip of the Week If it involves the reunited Eagles, it’s bound to ruffle some feathers. With both Don Henley and Glenn Frey testing the limits of their seven-year employment contracts with Geffen and MCA records respectively, industry insiders believe no major label will risk litigation and possible damages by signing the Eagles for a reunion album. One possibility is that the Eagles could produce, market and distribute the album on their own without the help of a major label. Note: Hits magazine is a weekly music industry trade publication.
