Do What You Want, Be What You Are – The Music Of Daryl Hall & John Oates (4CD box set)

Add to
Watch List

A damn incredible package of work from Daryl Hall & John Oates – one that's got way more than just the stock greatest hits you'd find on other box sets, and which is filled with loads of rare moments alongside the classics! There's a vibe here that's really wonderful – an approach that really unlocks the more soulful side of the Hall & Oates sound – especially since the collection begins with a fair bit of pre-fame recordings, and also includes some rare live tracks from the mid 70s – plus a number of other previously unreleased gems too! Hits are still out in full effect, but they only comprise about half the material here – making the set list a great journey between the fresh and familiar – all wrapped up with a great booklet that has lots of rare photos and commentary on each track by the duo. 16 previously unreleased tracks, and 74 tracks in all – with cuts that include "I Need Your Love" (by The Masters), "Girl I Love You" (by The Temptones), "Perkiomen", "Fall In Philadelphia", "Lady Rain (live)", "Camellia", "The Woman Comes & Goes", "I Don't Wanna Lose You (7" rmx)", "Don't Go Out", "Possession Obsession (live)", "So Close (live)", "Storm Warning", "Have You Ever Been In Love (demo)", "I Want Someone (live from Daryl's house)", "Dreamer (72-09 redux)", "Heartbreak Time", "Las Vegas Turnaround", "She's Gone", "Love You Like A Brother", "Did It In A Minute", "Go Solo", "Kiss oOn My List", "Crazy Eyes", and lots lots more!  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
