new Hall and Oates box set to be released
OK, the long-awaited Hall and Oates career-spanning box set is finally scheduled for release on October 6, 2009. Sony/Legacy will be releasing the 4 CD set which will include a total of 74 songs, 16 of which are previously unreleased. Also note that the title of the set has been changed from “Straight From Philadelphia” to Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall & John Oates. Fans have been waiting anxiously to find out what will be included in the set after it was initially announced back in March. Several unexplained delays pushed the box set back from a June release to the recently announced October date.
Anyway, here’s the official tracklist provided by Sony/Legacy. I get the feeling that long-time fans were hoping for a lot more rarities than what’s showing here on the list but what can you do…
