Why the Eagles Flew Upside Down. Art director Gary Burden designed the 'Eagles' album cover to open up into a four-panel poster, with the gatefold image of the band around a campfire sitting below the front and back cover images. "But David Geffen thought that would be confusing," explained photograher Henry Diltz in 'History of the Eagles.' "And without consulting us or consulting Gary or the Eagles or anybody, he told them, 'Just glue it shut.' As a result, the campfire photo now appeared upside down compared to the outside artwork. "Which didn't make any sense to anybody," Diltz lamented.
