The Doobie Brothers / The Warner Bros. Years 1971-1983

By Paul Sinclair

Rhino are certainly cranking out the ‘Warner Bros. Years’ collections this summer, with the latest a ten-CD box set in favoured clamshell packaging, summarising The Doobie Brothers’ output for the label.

The collection includes the nine studio albums recorded for Warner Bros. starting with 1971’s eponymous debut and ending, appropriately enough, with Farewell Tour, their 1983 live album.

No bonus tracks and you can expect these to use whatever the last remaster was. Particularly good price in Germany for European fans.

The Warner Bros. Years 1971-1983 is out on 17 July 2015.
