Captain And Me - The Doobie Brothers - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 20 days)

Taking off on the commercial success of Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me propelled the Doobie Brothers to superstar status. Having spent an entire year on the charts after its March 1973 release, it features one classic cut after another. Not to mention an even-keeled balance between gritty rock fare and mellow balladry that showcases the group’s chemistry and songwriting prowess. By keeping their craft deceptively simple and thoroughly enjoyable, the Doobie Brothers understand music is supposed to be fun — and that it needs to groove. And groove this double-platinum record does without fail. Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP presents The Captain and Me in definitive sound. Facets that help make the album so welcoming — voices that naturally rise and fall, notes that properly carry and decay, bass lines you can trace, well-placed percussive accents, warm tones, defined separation between the musicians — come across with involving presence, openness, and realism. You’d likely never guess the Doobie Brothers created The Captain and Me under the pressures associated with a quick turnaround time and demands for a set that would prove its prior LP wasn’t a fluke. To say they accomplished that mission is a vast understatement.
