About

This massive box set traces the evolution of Daryl Hall and John Oates, starting with their early-’70s Philly soul roots on tracks like “Girl I Love You” (taken from Hall’s original group, The Temptones) and culminating with the duo’s untouchable string of ‘80s hits (“Private Eyes,” “Maneater”). It even includes some rare demos, live cuts, and covers, including an icy-smooth 2003 performance of Billy Paul’s “Me and Mrs. Jones.”
