NEW DOOBIE BROTHER JAPANESE REMASTERS ?


Was looking on CD Universe and noticed that the entire back catalog of Doobie Brother CDs have been recently remastered and released as a Japanese import. Has anyone heard these yet, and how do they compare to the original CDs and Box Set releases? Thanks!

I just picked up my own personal copy of "Minute by Minute" on mini-LP. (The one I used for comparison was my neighbor's and done on his system.) Upon re-listening, I have to agree: The mini-LP is overall better than the AF, which surprised me, given Steve Hoffman's sterling reputation as masterer. Though, on my rig, the AF was warmer sounding, the mini-LP pretty much trumped it in every other regard, particularly clarity and dynamics. I'm surprised I didn't hear that on my friend's system, but then again, my rig is more resolving than his.
Jackofspeed, Could you post the stock #'s for these? Seems
there are a couple choices. Thanks in advance, Steve
You can go to CD Universe, get to the Doobie Brothers, the imports are in the lower section of the catalog. The titles that have JAPAN,LIMITED,REMASTERS are the ones you want. The titles are mixed with others but I think their all about $23 something a piece. Get your favorite one and compare it to what you have now, I'm pretty sure you'll spring for all of them.
