3.0 out of 5 stars would have preferred the all-new material that was shelved, June 19, 2002

They had recorded a CD of new material that was shot down by the record company and this is the alternative that was chosen.

The problem is that there are MYRIAD H&O compilations in the store racks. However, there are three new recordings worth listening to as well as a great surprise......

Contrary to some other opinions, I believe the live version of "Every Time You Go Away" is CLASSIC and worth the price of the CD alone. I owe an apology to Mr. Hall for being ignorant of his penning this song. Like many others, I knew only of the grammy-winning version recorded in the mid 80's, which become once of the biggest "corn-ball wedding songs of all time on the Bar Mitzvah circuit." However, here they re-claim it with a stunning rendition, complete with many different styles (gospel organ and singer alone, unplugged acoustic guitar, gospel choir, sax solo then guitar solo after a stretched out R&B flavor)....I LOVED IT!! Shows you the well is far from dry in the creativity dept...the song was recorded just a few months ago..

Sony, get real and get the new material out of the can....these guys are like fine wine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A teaser of things to come...we hope?, August 13, 2002

This review is from: Vh1 Music First - Behind the Music: Do It for Love (Audio CD)

When I purchased this cd, I noticed that 3 new songs were added. I'm embarrassed to admit I was skeptical about liking them because I wanted to hear the old songs. Geez, was I out in left field! Somebody Like You, Heartbreak Time, and Do It For Love are without a doubt the strongest songs on the cd and stellar new additions to their catalog. Masterful writing and production and vocals that seem to be aging like fine wine all add up to one incredible cd. I passed it along to a friend of mine and his reaction was, "Well, these guys sure haven't lost their touch".

Thank God these guys are back! As a baby boomer, I get so depressed at the state of the music industry today. And then, like a breath of fresh air, along come Daryl and John sounding better than ever. True talent may evolve but never disappears. Buy this cd and treat yourself to some incredible music!

5.0 out of 5 stars Are Three Songs Worth Buying a Whole CD?, March 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Vh1 Music First - Behind the Music: Do It for Love (Audio CD)

I know what some of you Hall and Oates fans are thinking. "I already have all of those other songs, so I'm not going to buy a CD just for three new songs that may not be that good anyway." If that's what you're thinking, it's a big mistake.
The three new songs are well worth the money. I never thought anyone could improve Daryl's "Someone Like You," but the Hall and Oates version "Somebody Like You" is stunning. "Do It for Love" is vintage Hall and Oates and great to hear. And even the over 9 minute live version of "Everytime You Go Away" recorded earlier this year in Budapest will blow you away.
Plus, no matter how many CDs you have with those same songs, how can you go wrong with them? Thank you VH1 for this collection!!!
