Hitmaking duo Daryl Hall and John Oates announced Wednesday that they will release a four-CD box set that spans their remarkable 43-year career. Entitled 'Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall and John Oates,' the retrospective shows how they went from Philadelphia teens to the biggest selling duo of all time.

"This box set will be a treasure for the die hard Daryl Hall and John Oates fan and a creative surprise to the casual fan," Oates tells Spinner. " All the hits are there but the real gems are the unreleased tracks and live performances that showcase the true depth of our life's work as professional songwriters, producers and artists."

On top of their six No. 1 singles -- such as 'Rich Girl,' 'Private Eyes' and 'Out of Touch,' and their 10 Top 10 tracks, 'including 'You Make My Dreams,' 'She's Gone' and 'Everything Your Heart Desires' -- the 74-song collection includes 16 previously unreleased recordings. Of the 10 live tracks, five are from their first show in England while the most recent, a cover of the Mad Lads' 'I Want Someone,' comes from Hall's Internet series, 'Live From Daryl's House.' The six remaining studio tracks include outtakes, a remix of 'Gino (the Manager)' and a new recording of a lost 1972 demo, 'Dreamer.'

In addition, the liner notes for each song will be included in a 60-page booklet that also features never-before-seen photographs and a brand new band biography. Throughout the book, there are also testimonials about the duo and their music by notable musicians such as Mick Jagger, Carly Simon, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump and many more.

The set will be released Oct. 6, just before the duo plays one of the final shows at the Philadelphia Spectrum Oct. 23.
