Recorded in West London in February 1978, the band's tasteful, jazz-inflected set embraces folk, blues, and pub rock while also tracing a direct line back to the beat-oriented sound of early rock n' roll. Country and roots accents further distinguish the British quartet's stripped-down music from any 1970s peers, as does the transparent production, which has remained revered among audiophiles the world over — and which has never been better in digital than on this meticulous Hybrid SACD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's SACD version of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDire Straits\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efeatures natural tonalities, superb balances, you-are-there imaging, deep-black backgrounds, and pristine clarity. Even if you've heard this album hundreds of times before, you've never experienced it with such lifelike sonics and premium richness. This collector's set immerses you within the smoky, laidback atmospherics of every song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrucial to every arrangement, Mark Knopfler's winding guitar lines emerge with supreme transparency and multi-hued textural detail. His intricate playing comes across as if it's being transmitted via his 60s-era Fender Vibrolux amplifier placed right before you. The cleanliness, dimensions, and live feel are that good. Rhythms skate and swirl; percussive effects resonate with crispness and attack; the leading edges of notes naturally decay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDire Straits' strong, well-edited batch of original material further enhances the overall enjoyment and makes the record one whose pleasures go far beyond the organic sonics. Just as Knopfler's narratives pour forth with poetic and surrealist texts, the musical settings — an intoxicating combination of easygoing shuffles, back-hall boogies, and pop-honed ballads — mirror the old-fashioned soulfulness inherent in the classic recordings of the late '50s and early '60s. The lyrics are equally captivating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from his time as a youth in Newcastle, Leeds, and London, Knopfler invests tunes with an autobiographical slant and emotional connectivity that become obvious the moment he opens his mouth to sing. \"Down to the Waterline,\" \"Wild West End,\" and \"Lions\" all feature colloquial touches that add to their reach. By extension, \"In the Gallery\" functions as a tribute to Leeds sculptor Harry Phillips (father of future Knoplfer collaborator, Steve Phillips) while the record's breakout smash, \"Sultans of Swing,\" pays homage to struggling bar bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough it all, Dire Straits performs with a subtle cool and clever poise that no band ever matched. Just how good is the chemistry? Bob Dylan heard the quartet and invited Knopfler and drummer Pick Withers to play on \"Slow Train Coming.\" But even Dylan himself didn't hear Dire Straits sound this magnetic back in its original heyday.

The 5.1 is akin to pentimento, the high-resolution format and expansive elements revealing the entire widescreen vista of the world which the album creates, the depths of emotional and musical impact. As is characteristic of a Guthrie mix, the 5.1 is not gimmicky but dynamic and immersive, revealing a wealth of detail which existed within the recording even if we were unable to fully discern it until now. The pleasure of it is in finally hearing Animals elevated to those heights which the Golden Era recordings had previously established.

The original direction of the album was extremely commanding, and it worked on so many levels.

It determines the emotional impact of a piece of music. A good mix can really bring a song to life, or, if you miss the mark, you can actually inflict a lot of damage.

Steely Dan created a sophisticated, distinctive sound with accessible melodic hooks, complex harmonies and time signatures, and a devotion to the recording studio. Becker and Fagen, with producer Gary Katz, gradually changed Steely Dan from a performing band to a studio project, hiring session musicians to record their compositions.

Of course, the Doors were very successful, and Paul and I did receive some acclaim, which we did appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"If you listen to all the Doors albums, no attempt was made to create sounds that weren't generated by the Doors, except for the Moog Synthesizer on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eStrange Days\u003c\/em\u003e, although that was played live in the mix by Jim, but that's another story. The equipment used was very basic, mostly tube consoles and microphones. Telefunken U47, Sony C37A, Shure 56. The echo used was from real acoustic echo chambers and EMT plate reverb units. In those days, we didn't have plug-ins or anything beyond an analogue 8-track machine. All the studios that we used, except for Elektra West, had three Altec Lansing 604E loudspeakers, as that was the standard in the industry, 3-track.

We didn't use fuzz tone or other units like that but created the sounds organically, i.e. the massive dual guitar solo on \"When The Music's Over,\" which was created by feeding the output of one microphone preamp into another and adjusting the level to create the distortion. The tubes were glowing and lit up the control room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"When mastering for the 45-RPM vinyl release, we were successfully able to bake the original master tapes and play them to cut the lacquer masters.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Bruce Botnick, July 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane fade active in\" id=\"tracks\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"200\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd nowrap\u003e1.

Of course, but if Steely Dan is one of the default artists for audiophiles, like The Band and The Eagles, it's because the music is exceptional and the sound superb. Their third album, from 1974, maintained the quality of its predecessors and steered the band on a jazzier course. It kicked off with one of their most achingly beautiful songs — \"Rikki Don't Lose That Number\" — and included its opposite in mood, the whimsical \"East St. Louis Toodle-Oo,\" \"Any Major Dude Will Tell You,\" \"Barrytown\" ... every one of the 11 tracks is a gem, and this excellent transfer to SACD simply reinforces my belief that the format remains the best implementation of digital playback outside of studios.\" —\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSound Quality = 95% — Ken Kessler, \u003cem\u003eHiFi News, \u003c\/em\u003eAlbum Choice for\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eNovember 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteely Dan's gold-selling third studio album\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePretzel Logic\u003c\/em\u003e, charted at No. 8 on the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBillboard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e200 and restored the group's radio presence with the single \"Rikki Don't Lose That Number,\" which became the biggest pop hit of their career and peaked at No. 4 on the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBillboard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHot 100.

Steely Dan considered it the band's attempt at complete musical statements within the three-minute pop-song format. The album's music is characterized by harmonies, counter-melodies, and bop phrasing. It also relies often on straightforward pop influences.

There's also the matter of its status as the most-referenced, and arguably, most important, jazz recording of all-time.

Mastered from the original master tapes, and pressed on 45 RPM LPs at RTI, this sumptuous box set of the often-reissued album is a must for even fans that already possess multiple versions.

Standing above the band, a group of lawmen — including Johns, manager John Hartmann, and others — exudes pride.

In a BBC interview in 2000, Becker and Fagen revealed that \"Kid Charlemagne\" is loosely based on Owsley Stanley, the notorious drug \"chef\" who was famous for manufacturing hallucinogenic compounds, and that \"Caves of Altamira,\" based on a book by Hans Baumann, is about the loss of innocence, the narrative about a visitor to the Cave of Altamira who registers his astonishment at the prehistoric drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRolling Stone, in its review of the album, described The Royal Scam, as Steely Dan's \"mostatypical record, possessing neither obvious AM material nor seductive lyrical mysteriousness.

There is little of the self-confident gentleness that dotted Pretzel Logic, less still of the omniscience that suffused Katy Lied. The Royal Scam is a transitional album for Steely Dan; melody dominates lyric in the sense that the former pushes into new rhythmic areas for the group (more \"pure\" jazz, semireggae and substantially more orchestration than before) while the verbal content is clearer, even mundane, by previous Dan standards,\" said the Rolling Stone review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly every song on Scam concerns a narrator's escape from a crime or sing recently committed, the review continued. \"Becker and Fagen have really written the ultimate 'outlaw' album here, something that eludes myriad Southern bands because their concept of the outlaw is so limited. Rather than just, say, robbing banks ('Don't Take Me Alive,' in which the robber is a 'bookkeeper's son'), Becker and Fagen's various protagonists are also solipsistic jewel thieves ('Green Earrings'), spendthrift divorcées ('Haitian Divorce') and murderously jealous lovers ('Everything You Did').\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic gives the album 4.5 stars, saying the best songs on The Royal Scam, \"Kid Charlemagne\" and \"Sign in Stranger\" \"rank as genuine Steely Dan classics.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album cover shows a man in a suit, sleeping on a radiator, and apparently dreaming of skyscraper-beast hybrids. The cover was created from a painting by Zox and a photograph by Charlie Ganse, and was originally created for Van Morrison's unreleased 1975 album, Mechanical Bliss, the concept being a satire of the American Dream. In the liner notes for the 1999 remaster of the album, Fagen and Becker claim it to be \"the most hideous album cover of the seventies, bar none (excepting perhaps Can't Buy a Thrill).\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a brief battle with esophageal cancer, Walter Becker died on September 3, 2017 at the age of 67.

In classic understated British fashion, the band simply let its music speak for itself. And how. Originally released in September 1991, On Every Street became the group's swan song — a lasting testament to the influence, musicianship, and integrity of an ensemble whose merit has never been tainted by cash-grab reunions or farewell treks. It remains an essential part of the Dire Straits catalog and a blueprint of the distinctive U.K. roots rock the collective played for its 15-year career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the original master tapes and housed in mini-gatefold-LP packaging, Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD of On Every Street presents the album like it has always been meant to be experienced: in reference-grade audiophile sound. Recorded at AIR Studios in London and produced by Dire Straits leader Mark Knopfler, it features all of the band's sonic hallmarks — wide instrumental separation, visceral textures, seemingly limitless air, broad soundstages, atmospherics that you can almost reach out and feel. Each element is made more vibrant, physical, and lifelike on this collectible reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfforded full-range dynamics and transparent clarity, the songs from On Every Street burst with nuanced details and vibrant colors. Dire Straits' playing appears to float, their intricate performances organized amid hypnotic, fluid, three-dimensional arrangements. Mobile Fidelity's definitive-sounding SACD also brings into transparent view Knopfler's finely sculpted guitar lines, expressive tones, and laid-back vocals — as well as the balanced accompaniment from his band mates. Here's a record on which you can hear the full blossom and decay of individual notes, and imagine the size and shape of the studio. It is in every regard a demonstration disc. And it happens to be filled with timeless fare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, On Every Street almost never came to light. Dire Straits initially dissolved in September 1988 after touring behind its blockbuster Brothers in Arms and suffering the departure of two members. At the time, Knopfler professed his desire to work on solo material; bassist John Illsley also explored side projects. But Knopfler's decision in 1989 to form the country-leaning Notting Hillbillies reignited a spark to reconvene his primary band and craft a fresh batch of songs. Six years removed from Brothers in Arms, Knopfler, Illsley, keyboardist Alan Clark, and keyboardist Guy Fletcher teamed with A-list session pros — steel guitarist Paul Franklin, percussionist Danny Cummings, saxophonist Chris White, guitarist Phil Palmer included — to create what still stands as an unforgettable farewell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platinum record brings the band full circle in that it returns Dire Straits to a quartet formation; finds the group refreshingly out of step with the era's prevailing trends; and sees Knopfler and Co. knocking out song after song with the deceptive ease of a punter tossing back a pint at a pub. That subtle cool, clever poise, and innate control — signature traits that no other band ever matched — dominate On Every Street. Knopfler's clean, virtuosic six-string escapades unfurl with dizzying melodicism and economical efficiency. Led by his winding fills and focused solos, Dire Straits traverse a hybrid landscape of rock, jazz, country, boogie, blues, and pop strains with near-faultless prowess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than any other entry in the group's oeuvre, On Every Street welcomes quick detours down back alleys and into the depths of human souls. What makes it more brilliant is its staunch refusal to cater to commercial expectations or take advantage of prior successes; every passage feels true, every measure echoed in the service of song. It's evident in the humorous satire of \"Heavy Fuel,\" closeted desperation of the witty \"Calling Elvis,\" and shake-and-bake bounce of \"The Bug.\" It pours from the album's darker corners, as on the high-and-lonesome melancholy of the title track and bruised emotionalism of \"When It Comes to You.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHinting at the open-minded approaches and boundless curiosity he'd embrace as a solo artist, Knopfler doesn't limit himself when it comes to style or subject matter. Look no further than \"You and Your Friend,\" a shuffle whose all-inclusive lyrics encourage an array of interpretative meanings. Another of the album's deep cuts, \"Iron Hand,\" comes on as one of the band's most memorable moments — the narrative addressing the abuses of power at the 1984 Battle of Orgreave during the U.K. miners' strike. Given cinematic heft by the expert production, the true-fiction account puts into perspective the richness, poetry, and depth of On Every Street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Every victory has a taste that's bittersweet,\" sings Knopfler on the title track.

Of course, the Doors were very successful, and Paul and I did receive some acclaim, which we did appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"If you listen to all the Doors albums, no attempt was made to create sounds that weren't generated by the Doors, except for the Moog Synthesizer on Strange Days, although that was played live in the mix by Jim, but that's another story. The equipment used was very basic, mostly tube consoles and microphones. Telefunken U47, Sony C37A, Shure 56. The echo used was from real acoustic echo chambers and EMT plate reverb units. In those days, we didn't have plug-ins or anything beyond an analogue eight-track machine. All the studios that we used, except for Elektra West, had three Altec Lansing 604E loudspeakers, as that was the standard in the industry, three-track. On EKS-74007, The Doors, we used four-track Ampex recorders and on the subsequent albums, 3M 56 eight-tracks. Dolby noise reduction units were used on two albums, Waiting For The Sun and The Soft Parade. Everything was analogue, digital was just a word. We didn't use fuzz tone or other units like that but created the sounds organically, i.e. the massive dual guitar solo on \"When The Music's Over,\" which was created by feeding the output of one microphone preamp into another and adjusting the level to create the distortion. The tubes were glowing and lit up the control room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"When mastering for the 45-RPM vinyl release, we were successfully able to bake the original master tapes and play them to cut the lacquer masters.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBruce Botnick, July 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Their Buckingham Nicks LP was largely ignored upon release and found the twosome questioning their futures. But fate has a weird way of operating, and rather than recruiting another six-string blues virtuoso into the mix, Fleetwood Mac called an audible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrompted to visit Sound City Studios after telling someone in a grocery store he needed a place to record Fleetwood Mac's 10th album, Fleetwood heard Buckingham Nicks played back by Olsen as a demonstration of the studio's capabilities. Unable to forget what he heard, the drummer soon invited Buckingham to join his band. Displaying his now-famous reluctance to cede any creative control, Buckingham initially hedged before accepting on one condition: He and Nicks came as a package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat agreement stands as one of the most significant career-altering moves any band ever made. Suffice it to say Nicks' Plan B — \"we can always quit,\" she reasoned to Buckingham — stayed on the backburner. After rehearsing together for just 10 days and sussing out potential roles, the new iteration of Fleetwood Mac entered Sound City in January 1975 and laid down the tracks for the showstopper Rolling Stone put on its Greatest Albums of All Time list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many ways, Fleetwood Mac got far more than they bargained for in taking on the American duo. Buckingham and Nicks arrived loaded for bear. \"Monday Morning,\" \"Rhiannon,\" and \"I'm So Afraid\" had already been workshopped and penciled in for a second Buckingham-Nicks record. \"Crystal\" was re-purposed and re-imagined after its original inclusion of Buckingham Nicks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNicks also brought another recently penned song to the sessions, a beautiful gem none other than \"Landslide.\" McVie later admitted that the quality of material triggered a competitive spirit within her and inspired her to take her own songwriting to another level. \"Warm Ways,\" \"Say You Love Me,\" and \"Over My Head\" underscore that determination. Ditto her collaboration with Buckingham on \"World Turning.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstituting the old Fleetwood Mac in name only, Fleetwood Mac is the sound and style of an entirely new entity, a rebirth, and a reward for perseverance and a little bit of chance fortune. Above all, however, the album — which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard more than a year after its street date — towers as a testament to then-novel combinations of hook-laden power pop, mystical folk, cool R\u0026amp;B, melodic rock ‘n' roll and a wondrous balance of perfection and pragmatism, delicate and deliberate, mellow and maverick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, from the ocean-swept breeziness of the opening \"Monday Morning\" through the optimistic vibes of the building \"Over My Head\" to the stacked structure of the closing \"I'm So Afraid,\" Fleetwood Mac contains not a single dull moment or wasted note. In short order, the band would attain even greater commercial success with the subsequent Rumours. Yet the restless energy, innovative spirit, breath-of-fresh-air newness, and across-the-board fantastic performances of Fleetwood Mac would never be surpassed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

After the commercial failure of his first Warner Bros. album Astral Weeks (1968), Morrison moved to upstate New York with his wife and began writing songs for Moondance. There, he met the musicians that would record the album with him at New York City's A \u0026amp; R Studios in August and September 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album found Morrison abandoning the abstract folk jazz compositions of Astral Weeks in favor of more formally composed songs, which he wrote and produced entirely himself. Its lively rhythm and blues\/rock music was the style he would become most known for in his career. The music incorporated soul, jazz, pop, and Irish folk sounds into songs about finding spiritual renewal and redemption in worldly matters such as nature, music, romantic love, and self-affirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoondance helped establish Morrison as a major pop music artist while several songs from the album, including the title track, became staples of FM radio in the early 1970s.

Raw and rowdy, this visionary blast of rock ecstasy, rife with fantastical lyrics and futuristic fretwork unrivaled even today, commanded respect. The spacey 'Third Stone from the Sun' threw down the gauntlet with the declaration 'And you'll never hear surf music again.' 'Fire' delivered incendiary proto-funk. And the backward guitar solos of the title track, the innovative guitar-doubling on 'Purple Haze,' the rhythmic turmoil of 'Manic Depression,' the feedback-laced 'I Don't Live Today,' and the anti-hippie anthem 'Love or Confusion' were harbingers of hard rock. Newly remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog master tapes, the much-anticipated hybrid SACD has a 36-page booklet, and both stereo and mono mixes.

He improvised with the fervor of a born jazzman; he philosophized like the most cosmic rocker, but ultimately his basics were rooted in soul, a reflection of the chitlin circuit, where he cut his teeth. With the possible exception of Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience was debatably the world's finest-ever power trio.

Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescribed by AllMusic as the standard-bearer for post-alternative rock 'n' roll because of its '90s production dynamics, while still holding true to its classic rock core, Yourself or Someone Like You — the debut album from Matchbox Twenty — features sturdy songs and fairly strong hooks, all delivered forcefully with lead singer-songwriter Rob Thomas's distinctive bravado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically not flashy, nor as ingratiating as Third Eye Blind's pop instincts, the album is solid, American rock, reminiscent of a blend of Tom Petty and Pearl Jam. So it shouldn't have been surprising when the album found a wide audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYourself Or Someone Like You went on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide. The band was a mainstream staple of the mid- to late-'90s with its light rock songs about loneliness, depression, anger, and alcoholism, and successful albums followed such as Mad Season and More Than You Think You Are. Band members reunited in 2012 for North.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThomas says he wrote the songs for Yourself Or Someone Like You in a five- or six-month period before the band recorded it. He felt driven to create new songs, he says, because of a contentious relationship with a previous band he had left, and the motivation to be ready and prepared when it came time for Matchbox Twenty to record its debut album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's second single \"Push\" released in 1997 topped the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart and became one of the band's signature songs. Thomas wrote the lyrics to \"Push\" with Matt Serletic. The lyrics dealt with the stress of falling in and out of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Birmingham, Alabama, the band was playing a thousand-seat club and there was a line of patrons outside the door clamoring to get in. Matchbox Twenty was the opening act that night for The Lemonheads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We thought, 'Wow, The Lemonheads are having a good night.' Then we found out it was because that town was the only one playing 'Push' on the radio and it was the biggest hit in Birmingham, and they were all there for us. It was a huge change. We were so used to playing to 20 people, or sometimes to six people and most of the time they were people from the other band (that was playing) that night; we would just play for each other. So, it was a really big change that all of a sudden, people we didn't know were lining up to see us,\" Thomas told the AV Club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. real world\u003cbr\u003e2. long day\u003cbr\u003e3. 3 am\u003cbr\u003e4. push\u003cbr\u003e5. girl like that\u003cbr\u003e6. back 2 good\u003cbr\u003e7. damn\u003cbr\u003e8. argue\u003cbr\u003e9. kody\u003cbr\u003e10. busted\u003cbr\u003e11. shame\u003cbr\u003e12. hang\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51109906940189,"sku":"753088753169","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/3670\/2749\/files\/matchbox20_a772a8d4-d9cd-4c5a-828f-3af479ca82e7.jpg?v=1775146886"},{"product_id":"hootie-the-blowfish-cracked-rear-view-sacd-analogue-productions-atlantic-75-series-copy","title":"Hootie \u0026 The Blowfish - Cracked Rear View (SACD Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCracked Rear View — the debut studio album by Hootie \u0026amp; the Blowfish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the best-selling albums of all time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHybrid Stereo SACD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMastered directly to DSD from the original master tape by Ryan K.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the original master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style gatefold sleeve packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition Hybrid SACD presents the 1978 effort on what is the definitive-sounding digital version of the Rock \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll those facets emerge with superb definition, transparency, smoothness, and solidity on this audiophile reissue. The levels of separation, dynamics, and imaging help bring the Doobie Brothers onto a wide, depth, multi-dimensional soundstage located feet away from your listening position. Templeton's knack for capturing the full frequency spectrum in a vibrant, realistic manner pays dividends throughout this collectible version. As for chief architect Michael McDonald's elastic, sky-high falsetto? Experience its range like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Doobie Brothers laid down the tracks at Warner Bros. Record Studios in Hollywood, California, it was apparent they would continue to shift from the boogie-infused, country-referencing rock that helped define their successful run of albums from the early to the mid ‘70s. As he does on the ensemble's prior studio outing, McDonald — still the newest recruit — again takes center stage. The Steely Dan collaborator uses his versatile baritone, perfectionist-oriented arrangement skills, and penchant for unusual chord stylings to give many songs rich, soulful, jazz-tinted foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNowhere is that strategy more apparent than on \"What a Fool Believes,\" the easygoing No. 1 smash that won the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year — and which Rolling Stone named the 343rd Greatest Song of All Time. Perhaps the Doobie Brothers didn't invent \"yacht rock\" with the warm, hook-laden favorite and the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSave for the pickin' instrumental \"Steamer Lane Breakdown,\" they're practically everywhere. Rising and falling above the twilight organ melody on \"You Never Change.\" Interwoven amid the catchy piano riffs and bass-guided rhythms of the opening \"Here to Love You,\" which establishes a romantic, mellow albeit adult-oriented mood that never lets up. Breezing through the feel-good emotions of \"Sweet Feelin',\" a comforting collaboration with Nicolette Larson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything happens naturally, and as a result of the Doobie Brothers wanting to rebound from the slightly disappointing reception of their preceding LP. Credit the band for trusting its instincts. Early feedback on the laidback, R\u0026amp;B-laced fare from friends and record executives wasn't positive, and even a few band members liked the pop sound but wondered about the album and how it would be received.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest, as they say, is history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
