5.0 out of 5 stars I need Intravino, April 16, 2002
By 
Thomas Calhoun "Tom Calhoun" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: X-Static (Audio CD)
One of my favorite Hall and Oates albums and one of their most underappreciated. Most people will recognize Wait for Me, but won't be familiar with the rest of the album. Some of the gems included the "should have been" second single, Portable Radio. The great concert rocker Bebop/Drop and one of the coolest Hall and Oates songs they recorded, Hallofon-Intravino. The CD also includes the tough to find No Brain, No Pain and an unreleased track which almost sounds like a "sequel" to Wait for Me. Buddah did a great job on the CD and the packaging also includes some great liner notes where Daryl and John talk about the songs. Hopefully Buddha will bring out some of the other out of print CD's (Livetime, Beauty on a Back Street, Bigger Than Both of Us) with bonus tracks. Visit them at [another website] and drop them a note telling them you want more Hall and Oates.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Great LP!! Hall & Oates Play It Unsafe!, August 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: X-Static (Audio CD)
In my opinion, this is probably Hall & Oates' best album overall (my personal favorite), and easily their most forgotten. So many good songs, such as "Wait For Me (Studio version)", "Intravino" "Woman Comes & Goes", and "Portable Radio". The disc was originally released back in the late '70s during the heyday of punk rock. It starts out sounding like standard Hall & Oates, but, track by track, it slowly "degenerates" into being a punk album by the end! Too bad this one isn't available domestically. RCA hated this disc from the beginning, along with Daryl Hall's "Sacred Songs" LP, and both were reluctantly & barely released by RCA, which probably explains why they've both been out of print in the US for close to 20 years! Definitely the most daring CD that Hall & Oates have ever released A welcome change from the usual play-it-safe Hall & Oates fare. Every song has merit. Put it on and let it degenerate before your very ears! Well worth the few extra dollars for this import.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fave album by Hall & Oates, February 27, 2000
By 
Michael Schmidt (Randolph,, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X-Static (Audio CD)
I saw these guys perform this album live, in a small club in Albany, N.Y. in 1979 and it has been my favorite by them ever since.
