The Doobie Brothers - What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits - MFSL 45RPM LP

Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP, Stoughton Gatefold Jacket

Released in 1974, What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits is the Doobie Brothers at their most diverse and ambitious — a feel-good blend of rock, country and R&B anchored by the No. 1 hit "Black Water." The album reached No. 4 on the Billboard chart, spawned three singles and sold more than two million copies, with the Memphis Horns adding brassy soul to three tracks and guests including Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Arlo Guthrie, James Booker and Bill Payne filling out the arrangements. Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP gives the record the room of a 45RPM cut for the first time, and the wider grooves pay off in dynamics, quiet backgrounds and spot-on imaging. Ted Templeman's production has rarely sounded this open.
