This compilation features tracks taken from only 2 albums: "Cycles" (represented here by 6 tracks), while the other 8 tracks are from "Brotherhood".
While those 2 albums were "unavailable" for a period of time, they have been re-released with bonus tracks (2 on "Cycles", 3 on "Brotherhood".)
Perhaps if this compilation had interesting packaging, some liner notes, I would be able to recommend it as a wise purchase... but all you get here is basically an hour of music taken from 2 albums... 14 tracks out of the original 20.
Sure, it's cheaper than buying both albums, but I think each of them is worth purchasing in its own right...
A first rate album by the Doobie Brothers BUT many tracks are replicated from other albums. A compilation of great songs which, for lack of a better description, were not top hits. All the same, this is one of my favourite DB albums. It is like a 'sub-greatest hits' album. If you are interested in the DB and do not have any of their albums, then start with "Listen to the Music: The Very Best of the Doobie Brothers". Follow on by getting "Doobies' Choice", then perhaps this album. Their "World Gone Crazy" album is also a Must.
