The Early Years (Hall & Oates album)

The Early Years is a 1985 compilation of music recorded by Daryl Hall & John Oates in their pre-Atlantic years. It was originally released as an LP. Liner notes on the CD, credited to Kevin James, provide little information on the specific source of the songs, opting instead for a generalized history of the artists' meeting at Temple University and of the bands that Hall & Oates played with during the sixties, including The Romeos, The Temptones, The Masters and Gulliver.
