Daryl Hall & John Oates - Private Eyes [Remastered Limited Edition] (1981/2014) [SACD]

Private Eyes is the tenth studio album by Hall & Oates, released in 1981. The album includes two #1 hits—the title track, "Private Eyes" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", as well as the top ten hit "Did It in a Minute". "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" also spent a week at the top of the R&B charts—a rare accomplishment for a white band.

Though the act had hit the upper reaches of the Billboard charts with "She's Gone", "Sara Smile", and "Rich Girl", the group didn't return to major mainstream success until it released a cover version of The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" on its 1980 album, Voices. The heavy airplay eventually led to the duo's first No. 1 hit in four years, the Voices release, "Kiss on My List" in early 1981.

As the liner notes to the 2004 Private Eyes reissue indicate, it was while Daryl Hall and John Oates were recording the follow-up album in their adopted hometown of New York City, during the spring of 1981, that "Kiss on My List" went to number one in three trade publications. Determined to follow up on their success, the duo produced Private Eyes assisted by their co-producer Neil Kernon.
