[edit] Miscellanea
- Original pressings of this record had text engraved on the carry-out grooves:
- Side 1: Luncheon Counter of the Deli Kind
- Side 2: Call It In the Air!
- Originally, the Walsh song "In the City", was recorded for this album, but released on the Eagles album, The Long Run.
- On the CD version of the album is a hidden track after "Life's Been Good" dubbed "A flock of wah-wahs" which is a minute of gibberish wah-wahs.
- Joe Walsh ran a mock campaign for President in 1980; one of the planks of his platform was to make "Life's Been Good" the new national anthem.
