Description
Minute by Minute saved the Doobie Brothers even as it nearly broke the band. Created when the group felt uncertain of its 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 3 million copies and stayed on the charts for more than a year, the four-time Grammy-winning Minute by Minute remains a pop landmark — all the more impressive given few initially believed in its potential.
Sourced from the original master tapes, housed in a Stoughton Printing gatefold jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition reissue presents the 1978 effort on 180-gram 45 RPM 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 the same year he helmed Van Halen's breakthrough debut, Minute by Minute features non-congested openness, snappy rhythms, wonderful tonal balance, exceptionally clear vocals, and the right equilibrium of fine polish and bluesy grit.
