John Oates explains; "Playing the Troubadour in LA has been a "rite of passage" for live musicians for 64 years and Daryl and I played our first show there opening for the late great Harry Chapin in 1973. Over the years I always loved seeing shows and hanging out there with musicians and friends...returning to play again in 2008 was a full-circle moment for me and the vibe was amazing."

'Live At The Troubadour' was initially released in CD and DVD format in 2008, however this is the first time the album will be available for fans in vinyl format - and it's sounding bigger, better and more iconic than ever! This release adds to Daryl Hall and John Oates' extensive and highly successful discography, which is still resonating with existing and new fans across the globe.

Reflecting on the recorded shows, Daryl Hall whimsically adds; "It's always interesting to return to the scene of the crime."
