Abandoned Luncheonette

1973's Platinum-certified Abandoned Luncheonette served as the watershed second studio album from pop-rock duo Daryl Hall & John Oates and the most commercially successful of their Atlantic Records era. Produced by the great Arif Mardin (Aretha Franklin), the well-crafted 9-song set is fused with classic Philly soul, rock and acoustic pop anthems like the huge hit single "She's Gone," as well as favorites "When The Morning Comes" and the title track. "Recording that album was where we learned how songs become records," noted Oates. "Our producer, the legendary Arif Mardin carefully crafted each song, every bit of nuance, bringing in the perfect players for the right moments. And it all worked together as one beautiful musical tapestry."
