Vinyl plays nicely; a few light hairlines (play-graded). Cover has a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, tiny surface abrasions, and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (artwork/lyrics/credits); one seam partially split. Spine is mostly readable with wear. Noticeable shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Columbia House pressing. Cream colored label with faint lines. (Not a cut-out.)
Best of the Doobies Vol. II is the second volume of Doobie Brothers hits. It contains the hits What a Fool Believes and Minute by Minute. This collection arrived in 1981 – five years after the first installment, which was enough time for the group to release three albums: 1977's Livin' on the Fault Line, 1978's Minute by Minute, and 1980's One Step Closer. This is the era when Tom Johnston slowly backed out of the group, leaving after Livin', and Michael McDonald became the Doobies' frontman, so this is when the band sounded more soulful and less concentrated on the boogie. "Anybody looking for a good portrait of the band at its smooth-sailing yacht-rock peak should turn here." (allmusic)
