About
Daryl Hall & John Oates is the self-titled fourth studio album by American pop music duo Hall & Oates. The album was released on August 18, 1975, by RCA Records. It is sometimes referred to as The Silver Album because of its metallic glam rock style cover. The cover was made by Pierre LaRoche, the same artist who created Ziggy Stardust for the rock-singer David Bowie. In 2009, Sony Music Custom Marketing Group released a triple pack of Hall & Oates albums. Along with this album, the pack included H2O and Ooh Yeah!. "Grounds for Separation", according to Daryl Hall, was going to be used in the Sylvester Stallone film Rocky. Frank Stallone, Sylvester's brother, had been in a band with John Oates called Valentine and this connection got them a shot at an appearance on the soundtrack. The film, however, was slow to get off the ground, and Hall and Oates withdrew the song. "Alone Too Long" is the theme song for the television show Hello Ladies, which premiered on HBO in 2013. "Gino (The Manager)" is about the duo's manager at the time.

The record jacket insert reads "And introducing Tommy Mottola as 'Little Gino.' In 2009, the song was remixed and included on the duo's 4-CD box set Do What You Want, Be What You Are. It featured an album cover in which Daryl and John are overly made up with make-up to the point where they looked like women. Hall would later say in an interview for VH1's Behind the Music that he looked like "the girl I always wanted to go out with" on that album cover. In 2000, Buddah Records re-released the album with two bonus tracks ("What's Important to Me" and "Ice").
