Doobie Brothers Mail-away included. Vinyl plays with occasional crackles (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges, light scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on back and along right side of bottom edge on front. Sticker residue on front near bottom left/back bottom right. Inner-sleeve is original (lyrics/credits/artwork); one seam is unglued near top. Spine is easy-to-read with wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edges and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Cream colored label with faint horizontal 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)
