| Never a disappointment (review from amazon.com) |
|
| Being from the time this music was originally released, I found this CD to be a wonderful recollection. Several of the standards from the Doobies are on this CD and it was delightful to hear them again and reminisce. Any time spent with this music will never be a disappointment.

| Classic Doobies. A "must have"! (review from amazon.com) |
|
| Right from the first track, you know you're in for some ear candy! Second only to "The Captain and Me" as my favorite Dobbie Brothers. Tight harmonies a trademark of this CD. Ya gotta love it!

| Old time favorite (review from amazon.com) |

| I had this one on vinyl when it was first released so I am very familiar with it and have in recent months been rebuilding my collection in CD's as it was in vinyl. I really love these guys and am very happy to have it.

| One of the Doobies' best...and sounding fine. (review from amazon.com) |
|
Toulouse Street, the Doobie Brothers' second album, ranks among their best (along with The Captain and Me). Showcasing a range of styles including, apart from the obvious rockers, some phenomenally sensitive readings (Toulouse Street, White Sun), this album is a classic '70s work.
This SACD is beautifully mastered and sounds superb. If you don't have an SACD player, its CD layer allows it to be played on your existing gear.

| Classic album with terrific sound (review from amazon.com) |

The Doobies second album found the band finding their "sound" with a confident swagger previously not seen on their fine debut. The Mo-fi gold edition of the album on CD sounds warmer with better depth to the recording compared even to the recent Japanese remaster (which also comes in a replica of the original gatefold sleeve). Make no mistake, this isn't like a night and day difference but it's subtle; you may not recognize a huge difference unless you're listening to this on a nice stereo system or an SACD player. Nevertheless, this IS the best version I've heard of the album in a digital format.
The sound? It's marvelous. The remaster has a nice, warm tone, depth and nice dynamic range. In other words, it's about as close to perfect as I've heard this album.
I'm a bit perplexed though as some of Mo-fi's releases come with a booklet (even if it is only four pages for example the "Marshall Crenshaw" reissue on Mo-fi came with a small booklet)and this one doesn't (neither did the Mo-fi for Linda Ronstandt's "Don't Cry Now". I kind of like the booklets myself because I usually put these into CD cases to protect them from wear and tear.
Either way, "Toulouse Street" sounds terrific. A must buy for fans of The Doobie Brothers.
