Daryl Hall & John Oates – The Atlantic Collection (CD)
Product Details
Before the arena-filling pop machine of the RCA years, Hall & Oates were something rawer and harder to categorize, two Philadelphia kids steeped in soul, doo-wop, and blue-eyed R&B who cut their teeth on Atlantic at a time when that label's DNA still ran deep with Aretha and Stax. The Atlantic period is where you hear the hunger, especially on "Abandoned Luncheonette," which holds up as one of the most genuinely soulful recordings either man ever made.
This collection presents the best sides from the formative years of this platinum-selling duo. 20 tracks drawn from singles and their 3 Atlantic albums (Whole Oats, Abandoned Luncheonette and War Babies). Highlights include: "She's Gone," "It's Uncanny," "Abandoned Luncheonette," "Lilly (Are You Happy)" and more, plus rarities like the previously unissued master recording, "Past Times Behind."
