One of the best Doobie albums done by mo-fi. Great punch, clean highs, definition and separation of instruments. Downsides? It's a bright in some tracks and the low (sub 60hz) bass need to be brought up a bit. |

Probably the most classic jazz album of all time. Got to be one of my top 5 all time favorite albums.
Sonically, this whoops every CD and LP version I've heard to date. No question that this was taken from the original master tape. Very low tape hiss, wonderful rendering of space and fine detail in ... more |
