The Doobie Brothers – What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits

Believe the hype, these Bellman cut Doobie reissues are that damn good. What a joy to listen to.

i agree sounds AAA to my ears as well 5 stars

Just pulled out the poster for the first time myself after acquiring this copy almost 30 years ago, and it is about a 12x24 inch glossy color photo montage with an almost psychedelic-like vibe. Very cool.

I agree with the other comments, sounds great. I was hoping that Rhino HiFi was going to do the Kevin Gray treatment, but didn’t want to wait any longer. Took a chance on this and love it.

As with all of the other recent Rhino Doobie reissues, this is fantastic. I know Rhino sometimes sneaks in AAA pressings in these seasonal releases, and I would be shocked if this wasn't AAA. It's that good.

Can only recommend this to a sky high degree! The sonics are insanely good. Its an easy demo disc to show off any system regardless of cost. They dont always get things right at Mofi, well to my ears at least, but when they do its revelatory.

Best sounding version of this album I have ever heard! Even includes the original poster!

Expect a NM- copy from this pressing to sound immensely pleasing: dynamic, crisp, wide and deep. Low surface noise and an all-around winner!

Clean and punchy. Great mids and bass. I always have doubts about clear/multi-colored vinyl pressings due to QC issues. This reissue is pretty darn good. It’s a 2016 remaster but delivers plenty of dynamics and clean bass lines. Tom Johnston really shines vocally on this album. A must have for even the casual Doobie Bro’s enthusiast. Highly recommend this LP.

Mix of country soul R&B & boogie rock on a sonic palette of twin duelling guitars & drummers, dynamic harmonies, funky blasts from the Memphis Horns & the Doobie’s signature clean production.
Great fun rock n’ roll smokin’ weed kinda album.
