I know it's been said before on this forum before, but I'll say it again:
WOW!!!!!!
I'm hearing details in this one that not even my Rega Planter 3 could pull out my mint-y test press LP.
I'm one very satisifed customer.

The AF Minute By Minute is the best sounding CD in my collection! I was a fool to pass on those DCC and MoFi gold CD's. Actually, I do have the DCC gold Band on the Run, that sounds fantastic too. Wouldn't it be great if AF put out gold CD's of the entire Doobie catalog! I sold the old Warner unremastered beasts when Rhino put out the box set, but somehow a box set isn't quite enough for The Doobie Brothers.

I think it just sucks to be a small audiophile label. Look at MFSL, I can't believe they put out so many releases in the 80's and 90's. Now it's like, what, 5 SACD's or gold CD's a year? If they're lucky?
I'm not big on the Doobies, but "What A Fool Believes" is the king of yacht rock, and Hoffman did great work on that album. I'm sure he could make the whole catalog sound better and it'll probably sell, but with tight resources and licensing limitations, I wouldn't be optimistic.

I was just saying, why doesn't AF take a One Way/Wounded Bird approach? Can't be worse than putting out nothing, can it?

Agreed. I partly understand that stinginess on the part of the major labels, but...c'mon, surely they want to, y'know, sell shit, right? I thought that, in their desperation for profit, they'd have reversed course and would be licensing to ANYBODY who could make their product palatable for re-purchase.
