This photo session was the first with new member, Don Felder. It took place at Record Plant studios during the recording of On The Border. One photo includes producer Bill Sczymcyk.
The purpose of the session was most likely to get a photo with Felder to use for ads and publicity for the Eagles’ upcoming 1974 tour in support of On The Border (below).
The photos show Randy wearing a t-shirt for the Joe Walsh & Barnstorm album, The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get (also produced by Sczymcyk.) He is also wearing the same yellow chamois shirt worn in the photos from London in March 1973 & the Topanga Canyon session in September 1973.
