The Vinyl Countdown # 107

Daryl Hall & John Oates with David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks, Live At The Apollo (1985) Another day, another Hall & Oates record! A year ago I had two or three albums – now I have nearly a dozen I reckon. Getting there…getting there…At any rate, I was pleased to find this. Recorded live at […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 111

Daryl Hall & John Oates, Daryl Hall & John Oates (1975) One song! Sara Smile. It’s the one that really made Hall & Oates – got them going properly; created enough interest for them to re-release a couple of earlier songs and then they were away. Next thing they’re on their way to being the […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 114

Daryl Hall & John Oates, Along The Red Ledge (1978) The early/mid 70s saw the Hall & Oates duo create some fantastic blue-eyed soul, not all of it ‘took’ until a bit later…the first few albums went almost unnoticed until a minor hit became nearly a major and on the back of that there was […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 133

Daryl Hall & John Oates, No Goodbyes (1977) I did not need this album at all – a compilation of the great Hall & Oates Atlantic years; their early/mid-70s blue-eyed soul classics. I did, however, want it. So I got it. A bargain it was too. And arriving at the right time – pre-lockdown. Hall […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 266 

Daryl Hall & John Oates, Voices (1980) Just a great run of singles here – but also some weird folly-stuff too. Oddly a cover of You’ve Lost That Lovin Feeling (which no one really needs) was very popular. And yet their own Everytime You Go Away had to wait to be covered to really be a hit. Strange. Loads of gems here though […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 275 

Daryl Hall & John Oates, Abandoned Luncheonette (1973) You lot know I’ve been on a massive Hall & Oates kick of late. Well, it started with this album. Which is to say I grew up with the monster 80s pop hits by this duo but it wasn’t until I heard this album in its entirety that I really got […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 283 

Hall & Oates, X-Static (1979) I’m revisiting Hall & Oates – not only that I’m learning on the job. This album is a bridge between the end of their soul (and rock) days and the start of their full-onslaught 80s pop. (That’s the stuff I grew up with). Here we have them stopping over at the new wave […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 286

Daryl Hall & John Oates, Beauty On A Back Street (1977) Hall & Oates – big part of my childhood. But really, mostly, the 80s anthems. The pop-band. What about that whole decade before where they were blue-eyed soul and a bit of rock. Philly soul, updated. That’s the sound of this album. And the few before it and maybe one or two […]

Todd Rundgren: White Knight

Todd Rundgren White Knight Cleopatra Todd Rundgren knows a thing or two about making mixed-bag albums – but he also knows that if you keep experimenting and collaborating you find magic. And there’s plenty of good stuff here on White Knight, an album of profound and perplexing collaborations that very much vacillates from the sublime […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 584

Daryl Hall, Three Hearts In The Happy Ending Machine (1986) What was Daryl Hall trying to say when he posed next to a cow for the cover inlay here? That he didn’t need John Oates at all? That he could make music with anyone? That he was, erm, milking it… We may never know. But […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 811

Hall & Oates, H2O (1982) I have Private Eyes and a good Best Of (to cover the earlier years) and it’s time to get out now – after picking this one up – or else I’ll go all completist on Hall & Oates and buying up everything…I wanted this album though because I love DJing […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 970

Daryl Hall & John Oates, Hall & Oates Collection (1981) Probably my favourite rediscovery of 2014 was the music of Hall & Oates – and so when I rushed out recently to buy Private Eyes I also returned with this – a handy collection of the duo’s earlier work – including some great songs like […]
