Details: The Doobie Brothers Create the Template for Yacht Rock: Grammy-Winning Minute by Minute Features 'What a Fool Believes,' Superb Harmonies, and Soulful Melodies Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes and Given Extra Groove Space: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set of 1978 Album Plays with Incredible Openness and Depth Minute by Minute saved the Doobie Brothers even as it nearly broke the band. Created when the group felt uncertain of it's place in the music world, the album catapulted the sextet to new commercial heights and signaled a distinct change in direction that the mainstream wholeheartedly embraced. Having sold more than three million copies, the four-time Grammy-winning Minute by Minute remains a pop landmark. Perhaps the Doobie Brothers didn't invent 'yacht rock' with the warm, hook-laden 'What a Fool Believes' and other similarly minded cuts on the radio-friendly Minute by Minute - look to the Top 20 title track, relaxed 'Open Your Eyes,' and horn-accompanied 'Dependin' on You' for further evidence - but the band essentially created the template many others would follow. Sourced from the original master tapes, housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition reissue presents the 1978 effort on 180g 45RPM 2LP for the first time on what is the definitive-sounding vinyl version of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers' biggest-selling record. Produced by Ted Templeman, Minute by Minute features noncongested openness, snappy rhythms, wonderful tonal balance, exceptionally clear vocals, and the right equilibrium of fine Polish and bluesy grit. Those facets emerge with previously unrealized definition, transparency, smoothness, and solidity on this reissue. A 'Sweet Feelin',' for certain. 1/4' / 15 IPS / Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe Numbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP NUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION Track List Side One: 1.
