Daryl Hall & John Oates' Do It For Love to be reissued for first time on double LP, CD

When Daryl Hall & John Oates released their sixteenth studio release ‘Do It For Love’ in 2003, it was to critical and commercial acclaim, with singles including the title track, ‘Man on a Mission’ and ‘Getaway Car.’ The album f
ollowed 1997’s ‘Marigold Sky.’

In addition to the singles, the album featured long-time collaborator Todd Rundgren who appeared on their cover of The New Radicals’ song ‘Someday We’ll Know’ (it’s a creative partnership that still continues - Todd and Daryl toured earlier this year).

On the album’s release, Daryl Hall said "I think we followed our own instinct rather than listen to other people's suggestions. I think it's really a culmination of all the different stylistic directions we've gone in and pulling it all together and focusing it in one place. It's a very organic record, it's emotional, it's got great songs and melodies -- all the things that people think of when they think of Daryl Hall and John Oates are very much in evidence here."

Reflecting on the album in 2022, John Oates said "It was interesting for me to record for the first time in London. Working with a new team of producers during a time when pop music was in transition from the mega success of the ‘Boy Band’ craze while at the same time trying to preserve the integrity and sound that Daryl and I had created over the years."
Daryl Hall agreed: "A good record" he said.

The album is being made available for the first time on double LP and the CD is reissued on gatefold digipak.
