Don Henley’s sophomore solo album Building the Perfect Beast will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a remastered, new vinyl reissue.
The album is being released Oct. 4 as a two-LP set for the first time, remastered from the original analog tapes, and will feature the tune “A Month of Sundays” on vinyl for the first time (the track was only available on CD, cassette and digitally.).
Originally released in 1984, Building the Perfect Beast was a massive success for Henley, led by hit singles “The Boys of Summer,” “All She Wants to Do is Dance,” “Sunset Grill” and “Not Enough Love in the World." The album went triple platinum and hit #13 on the Billboard 200 Album chart, with “The Boys of Summer” hitting #5, and “All She Wants To Do Is Dance” peaking at #9. “The Boys of Summer” also earned Henley a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
