Daryl Hall & John Oates
Daryl Hall & John Oates

1975 Silver Foil Cover Original With Lyric Insert. "Switching To RCA, Hall & Oates Recorded A Self-titled Album That Fulfilled Their Early Promise As Pop-savvy Blue-eyed Soul Craftsmen. A Few Of The Tracks Fall Flat -- Including The Reggae-tinged "Soldering" And The Pompous "Ennui On The Mountain" -- But Much Of The Album Is Lush And Catchy, Featuring Ballads And Midtempo Numbers That Are Nearly As Engaging As The Duo's Breakthrough Single, "Sara Smile"." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
