Don Henley - Building the Perfect Beast - 1984 - Geffen Records - Rock - Vinyl LP - Used

Released in late 1984 through Geffen Records, this essential vinyl LP represents the creative peak of Don Henley’s solo career following his time with the Eagles. Building the Perfect Beast is a masterclass in mid-80s rock and new wave production, featuring a sophisticated blend of synthesizers and sharp songwriting that earned it triple-platinum status. The album is anchored by the Grammy-winning hit The Boys of Summer and the high-energy social commentary of All She Wants to Do Is Dance, but it also dives into deeper, atmospheric territory with tracks like Sunset Grill and the soulful Not Enough Love in the World. To achieve this polished, adult-oriented sound, Henley collaborated with an incredible roster of talent, including Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers, Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, and members of Toto. This record captures a pivotal moment in music history where traditional rock sensibilities met the emerging electronic textures of the decade, making it a must-have for any collector looking for the definitive sounds of the 1980s.
