 Doobie Brothers - Takin' It To The Streets SACD hybrid? September 2, 2008

I really like this Doobies CD. I wanted to know if this reissue from Rhino Flashback is actually a SACD hybrid? That is what Amazon's title says. Although it says box set, among other descriptions. Anyone get this reissue that came out on 8/26/08? Is it in fact a SACD hybrid? If not, Amazon needs to change the product description.
Nice version in mini-LP sleeve even includes a vintage paper sleeve and booklet (for the Japanese version) November 30, 2007
Wayne Klein (My Little Blue Window, USA)
A transitional album for The Doobie Brothers, "Takin' It to the Streets" marks the rise of Michael McDonald and his blue-eyed soul smokey tenor taking its proper place in the band. It's quite a change for the band in terms of sound with the band diving into jazzy Steely Danish territory largely abandoning the sound of the previous albums. This was due to the diminished role of Tom Johnston who was sidelined with stomach ulcers. He does appear on the heartfelt rocker "Turn It Loose". McDonald, Simmons and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter dominate the rest of the album.
The weakest track is Tiran Porter's "For Someone Special" which just doesn't rise to the quality of the best songs on the album. No bonus tracks which is a disappointment given the two demos that appeared on the Doobie Brothers anthology "Long Train Runnin'".
This new edition sounds pretty good overall although a tad brighter than the previous CD, a bit louder as well but with nice detail. We get the CD in a replica of the original LP packaging right down to the paper insert that came with the album in 1976. The CD features the palm tree artwork that was a staple on almost all Warner Brothers releases at the time. The Japanese edition of the CD also features a booklet with song lyrics that appear to be pretty accurate as well as notes on the album in Japanese (no translation sadly)but no credits as to who remastered the album (or if it was remastered).

Even though the name "Doobie Brothers" could invoke drug usage by the over-critical, few can deny the magic of their music.
A staple of mid 70's FM radio airplay, the Doobie Brothers earned a well-respective niche in rock. In this debut presentation of the talents of Michael McDonald as spokesman-singer, you hear staple songs of the Doobie's career. But more important, you hear more obscure tracks that are super-beautiful and cross the division between rock and jazz-fusion.
If you don't have this album, then get it right now!
