Doobie Brothers original album series box set
To the extent CD's are still a viable medium to anyone, to get the entire Doobie Brothers recorded output (If you buy both Vol 1 & 2) for under forty bucks including shipping is a pretty good ROI. Just be aware the packaging is bare minimum. There are no inserts or extras of any kind. The original LP art is shrunk to the size of a CD-sized stiff cardboard envelope to hold each disc. The liner notes from the original LP art, having been shrunk about 300% are pretty much unreadable. The term, 'box set', is accurate in that there is a set of five CD's in a small box. Don't read any more into it than that. And don't think it is going to be a 'collectible.' It's music, and lots of it, but nothing more.
But having said that, we bought both volumes and are rocking out to them. It reminded us that the Doobies were:
- first and foremost a fine, vocal pop group with four-part harmonies abounding
- a perennial presence for a good 15 years;
- one of the small handful of groups to survive the transition from 70's band to 80's band;
- fine musicians, writers, and performers (Skunk Baxter's largely unknown contributions on the deep cuts are fantastic)
- producers of enough hits to populate two greatest hits collections
- deserving of HOF status.
