EXTD=Originally Released August 1, 2006 \n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Hall & 
EXTD=Oates' earliest recordings have been reissued plenty of times, of
EXTD=ten under the appropriate title Past Times Behind, but Varese's 2
EXTD=006 collection The Philadelphia Years is the best of these, since
EXTD= it is the best-sounding, best-annotated compilation of this fami
EXTD=liar material. It may not be complete -- frequently circulated so
EXTD=ngs like "Angelina" and "A Lot of Changes Comin'" aren't here -- 
EXTD=but it is generous at 19 tracks, including six previously unrelea
EXTD=sed folk-pop tunes from Hall & Oates, plus the two sides of the D
EXTD=aryl Hall single "A Lonely Girl"/"Vicki-Vicki" and a previously u
EXTD=nreleased Hall solo cut "Girl Don't Make Me Wait," a pretty good 
EXTD=tune written by fellow Philadelphian Leon Huff. The addition of t
EXTD=his solo material gives a fuller picture of Hall & Oates prior to
EXTD= their debut album for Atlantic Whole Oates, which did contain be
EXTD=tter, fuller versions of such songs here as "Fall in Philadelphia
EXTD=" and "Good Night and Good Morning," but these endearingly tentat
EXTD=ive folky tunes are certainly worth hearing. The production might
EXTD= be a little undercooked and the performances might be a little s
EXTD=haky, but Hall & Oates' chemistry as a duo and their skills as so
EXTD=ngwriters shine through and make this worthwhile for hardcore fan
EXTD=s. And for those that don't want to collect all the permutations 
EXTD=of this material, this is the one to get since it is indeed the b
EXTD=est-compiled and best-sounding version of these early recordings.

EXTD=at collection of early recordings, not "demos.", August 17, 2006\n
EXTD=Reviewer: Timothy D. Hufnagle (Bowling Green, OH)\nThis is a terr
EXTD=ific collection of rare early recordings (NOT demos) of Daryl and
EXTD= John before they were signed to Atlantic Records for their first
EXTD= LP, *Whole Oats.* All of the tracks on this CD were recorded bet
EXTD=ween 1968 and 1971 in Philadelphia's Sigma Sound Studios and Came
EXTD=o/Parkway. Several of them were released previously on Chelsea's 
EXTD=1977-issued LP, *Past Times Behind,* some were never available be
EXTD=fore at all, and a number have been only availabe on various boot
EXTD=leg LPs, cassettes, 8-tracks, and CDs. \n\nDespite what many fans
EXTD= persistently believe, these are NOT "demos." I worked on the dis
EXTD=cography for this collection, and one of the first things I was t
EXTD=old by the executives at Varese Sarabande and John Madara were th
EXTD=at these were not demos (even though I, along with many other fan
EXTD=s, previously read otherwise in published sources). I was told th
EXTD=ese were actual recordings that were made by Daryl, John, and oth
EXTD=er session musicians. So, for now, until I get some other account
EXTD=s, I will side with the folks who own these recordings, and trust
EXTD= their knowledge (since one of them was there when the songs were
EXTD= recorded!). :-) \n\nThe only track that vastly differs from the 
EXTD=rest is the final song, a Leon Huff composition originally record
EXTD=ed by Bunny Sigler: "Girl Don't Make Me Wait." This track, perfor
EXTD=med by a solo Daryl Hall, was literally salvaged from disappearin
EXTD=g forever, and was restored and added to the track list a couple 
EXTD=of weeks before the CD was pressed. It is not the folk-oriented s
EXTD=ound that most of what Daryl and John recorded during this time. 
EXTD=This track actually demonstrates much of Daryl's soulful vocal ra
EXTD=nge that only a Philly song could demonstrate. In some ways, this
EXTD= last song could serve as that elusive "missing link" in the Hall
EXTD= and Oates Philly soul/R&B sound. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIE
EXTD=W\nDefinitive Demos from Daryl Hall and John Oates, August 4, 200
EXTD=6\nReviewer: Tom_SF (San Francisco, CA United States)\n"The Phila
EXTD=delphia Years" is by far the best-sounding album of Hall & Oates 
EXTD=demos to ever come out. That's essentially because they came from
EXTD= the original master tapes provided by the original producer John
EXTD= Madara and aren't bootlegs as every other "demo" album that's co
EXTD=me out since 1977 is. \n\nThe sound is much clearer than even the
EXTD= Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs disc that came out a while back. No o
EXTD=ver-processing here, just good, clean sound from the genesis of t
EXTD=he best duo of the rock era. \n\nThe songs themselves are very si
EXTD=mple productions, usually nothing more than drums, pianos, guitar
EXTD=s, vocals and backgrounds. It's mainly on the folk-side than the 
EXTD=rock side of things, musically. \n\nAs far as the tracks themselv
EXTD=es go, I'm surprised "The Provider", "The Reason Why", "Dry In Th
EXTD=e Sun", "I'm Tired of Wearing Buckskin", "Sally", "All Our Love" 
EXTD=and "Months, Weeks and Days" didn't make it.... Looks like die-ha
EXTD=rd fans will have to get some of the bootlegs anyway. Also, songs
EXTD= included like ""Back In Love Again", "Gotta Be Stronger", "I Ain
EXTD='t Afraid of The Cold", and "You Don't Know" are listed as 'Previ
EXTD=ously Unreleased' but I found them, along with "Sally" and "All O
EXTD=ur Love" on a demo vinyl album called "All Our Love". \n\nThe bon
EXTD=us tracks feature songs from the Parralax single "Vicky-Vicky" b/
EXTD=w "A Lonely Girl". Typical late '60's rock. The CD concludes with
EXTD= Daryl's version of "Girl, Don't Make Me Wait", written by Leon H
EXTD=uff. \n\nThe liner notes are fairly accurate except for John Oate
EXTD=s' birth year (1948) and the author Bill Dahl unfortunately chose
EXTD= to use that derogatory 'blue-eyed soul' term to describe their m
EXTD=usic. Plus somebody misspelled the "Whole Oats" album. It's the m
EXTD=ost misspelled album title on record. \n\nThe liner notes also ma
EXTD=ke mention of John Oates' single performed with The Masters - "I 
EXTD=Need Your Love" b/w "Not My Baby" on the Crimson label. \n\nI wou
EXTD=ld love to see a part two of this disc to hear those also. \n\nIf
EXTD= you like history, pick up this collection along with "The Tempto
EXTD=nes" CD with early Daryl Hall that pre-dates even these songs. \n

EXTD=\nIssued in 2006, this compilation collects formative songs by Da
EXTD=ryl Hall and John Oates. Boasting tracks recorded in the late 196
EXTD=0s and early '70s, THE PHILADELPHIA YEARS reveals how the city's 
EXTD=signature soul sound influenced the duo, as best evidenced by the
EXTD= acoustic R&B of "If That's What Makes You Happy." Many of the tu
EXTD=nes on this set (a number of which are previously unreleased) rec
EXTD=all the contemporaneous, piano-driven songs of Elton John, most n
EXTD=otably the plaintive "Fall in Philadelphia" and the wistful "Back
EXTD= in Love Again," revealing an approach far different from Hall & 
EXTD=Oates's slickly produced '80s work. Although primarily geared tow
EXTD=ard diehard Hall & Oates fans, this disc will also be of interest
EXTD= to aficionados of late-'60s/early-'70s blue-eyed soul.
