1973 was an amazing year for the pop/rock duo Hall & Oates as they ushered their superstardom further with the incredible second album masterpiece Abandoned Luncheonette.
Produced by the great Arif Mardin, this nine-song album fused with classic Philly soul, rock and acoustic pop anthems delivered in a big way for the history making duo. Including the huge hit single "She's Gone," as well as the celebrated title track, Abandoned Lunchonette was a watershed album which has rewarded them with non-stop success for the past four decades.
Abandoned Luncheonette is the most commercially successful of the duo's Atlantic Records period; the album reached No. 33 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart. Twenty-nine years after its release, the album was certified platinum (over one million copies sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

I previously purchased the MoFi sacds of Hall and Oates back in the day but this new sacd goes way back to their beginning. And a great start for them.....I must say.
I found this new release to be most enjoyable with very nice analogue sound. While being familiar with the one popular track...SHE;S GONE.....the other tracks........almost all of them were very well rendered. Vocals, low end and soundstage were also qualities to take notice of. Hall and Oates are good artists and this disc proves it. Early stuff but very excellent.
Take a chance on this one.....you might be very happy you did..........as I was.
Good mastering by Analogue Productions.
Cheers, Analogue
