The mere mention of the name the Eagles, for most of us, evokes the strains of Hotel California and laidback '70s rock. But for a few listeners with long memories and an attraction to more exciting sounds, the mention of the Eagles calls to mind a British beat quartet of the early '60s, and strangely soulful pop numbers like "Some People" and catchy instrumentals with a unique guitar sound. A dozen years before Don Henley, Randy Meisner and company were first stepping out of Linda Ronstadt's shadow, there was a band in England using the same name, and getting lots of exposure with a brand of instrumental rock heavily influenced by the Shadows.
