A rare 7-inch pressing paired with a dub acetate of Hall & Oates’ “Out of Touch”, featuring production and remix work by Arthur Baker.

Baker was brought in to reimagine this chart-topping hit at the height of Hall & Oates’ commercial peak, blending his underground sensibility with the duo’s radio-ready pop hooks. The result: a forward-thinking crossover that bridged synth-pop, soul, and club culture.

  • Highlights:
  • Includes both the 7-inch single and a rare dub mix acetate.
  • Dub version not widely released or commercially available.
  • From the personal archive of Arthur Baker.

Part of the Arthur Baker Collection: This item is part of the Arthur Baker Collection — a once-in-a-lifetime auction in collaboration with legendary producer Arthur Baker. Sourced directly from his personal archive

Provenance: Direct from Arthur Baker's personal collection

OTHER disco collector ITEMS

Arthur Baker is an architect of modern music—producer, DJ, record exec and true pioneer.

We spent a few days in Miami with him curating his Collection, uncovering lost demos, tapes and never released records. From the original Def Jam contract signed by Rick Rubin, to studio reels from The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck and personal invites to Mancuso's Loft.

Multiple innovations by Baker arguably changed modern music. As well as pioneering the cut ‘n’ paste sampling technique, Baker also spearheaded the 12” dance music trend and popularised hiring DJs to help mix his own releases to give them a unique and genre-defying sound. Baker’s sound can be heard on tracks by legendary artists like Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, the Rolling Stones, Al Green, Beastie Boys, Quincy Jones, New Edition, Hall & Oates, Neneh Cherry, Mogwai, Fleetwood Mac and remixed for such films as Beat Street and Fried Green Tomatoes.
