" … the mastering is clean with excellent detail, very well balanced with no over exaggeration from top to bottom bottom and the vinyl is quiet too. … what you get value for dollar for your $60 with the Analogue Productions version I think it’s a bargain I really really do … really the work that they are doing when you consider the entire package the Old Style Record Jackets that you’re getting the incredible pressing, remastering work and quality of sound and quiet vinyl that you’re getting of these in my opinion I don’t want to say historic but really great albums from the past and to hear them in this quality to hear them sound so good it’s like a total redo of the album which I guess is really what it is – it’s worth the money to me." — Mike’s Vinyl Experience, YouTube video.

 

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).
