Daryl Hall & John Oates
Beauty On A Back Street
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Beautiful Second Issue Still In Shrink Wrap. “Beauty On A Back Street Isn't Quite As Accomplished As Its Two Predecessors, Yet It Is More Ambitious And Diverse, As Hall & Oates Begin To Add Some Arena-Rock Conventions To Their Sound, Particularly Distorted Guitars And Anthemic Choruses. On War Babies They Had Tried A Similar Attack, But On Beauty On A Back Street, The Duo's Songwriting Was Stronger, Which Meant That The Instrumental Approach Didn't Overwhelm The Actual Songs.” AMG - Stephen Thomas Erlewine
