      My copy has side two labeled as side one. And the other side isn’t labeled

        I agree with GalaxyExplorer that this is the best and grooviest LP they've created.

          I wonder if anyone besides me ever noticed that the number separators on the label track times are mid-dots (bullets) instead of colons. Hall & Oates were as much about the marketing as they were about fantastic music. This album is probably their best overall.
