Daryl Hall & John Oates Signed Record Silver Album 1975 Demo Copy – COA JSA

Hall & Oates are an American pop rock duo formed in 1970 in Philadelphia. Daryl Hall is generally the lead vocalist; John Oates primarily plays electric guitar and provides backing vocals. The two write most of the songs they perform, separately or in collaboration. They achieved their greatest fame from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues.

Their first album for the new label, Daryl Hall & John Oates (often referred to by their fans as the silver album because of the silver foil material on the original album cover), was their first legitimate success. It contained the ballad “Sara Smile,” a song Hall wrote for his aforementioned girlfriend Sara Allen. It also featured an album cover in which Hall and Oates are overly made up with cosmetic blush to the point where they looked like women, especially the long-haired and clean-shaven Hall. Hall would later say in an interview for VH1’s Behind the Music that he looked like “the girl I always wanted to go out with” on that album cover. This cover was made by Pierre LaRoche, who created Ziggy Stardust for David Bowie.

Presented is Hall & Oates 1975 “Silver Album” autographed. It was signed on the metallic portrait cover by both Daryl Hall and  John Oates in black felt tip (“9”). It is the original 1975 Release with special “NOT FOR SALE DEMONSTRATION” stamping on the back cover. Record is intact with original color poster insert.
