　イーグルスのデビュー作のプロモ盤。白ラベル盤は存在せず、このホワイト・アサイラムがファースト・プレスのようです。見開きは何故が上下逆になっていましたが、意図的なモノかどうか分かりません。

Eagles - Take It Easy Lyrics

Well, I'm running down the road tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me,two that wanna stone me, one says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy

Well, I'm a standing on a corner in winslow, arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in, So take it easy

Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load,
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your ow wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
