What is the difference between Volume 1 and Volume 2?

Volume 1 collects the early Tom Johnston-era hits such as "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'." Volume 2 focuses on the Michael McDonald-era singles like "What a Fool Believes" and "Minute by Minute."

Is this the original recordings?

Yes. These are the Doobie Brothers' Warner Bros. studio recordings compiled as the two Best of the Doobies collections, not re-recordings.

How many records are in the set?

Two LPs, one for each volume, pressed as a double vinyl set.

Does it include "Black Water" and "What a Fool Believes"?

Yes. Both No. 1 singles are on the set, along with "Jesus Is Just Alright," "Rockin' Down the Highway," "Takin' It to the Streets" and "You Belong to Me."

Is this a good starting point for a new listener?

Yes. It covers both major eras of the band in one set, which makes it a broader introduction than a single-volume hits collection.

Our take on the Doobie Brothers Best Of The Doobies: Volumes 1 & 2

A double vinyl set pairing the two Best of the Doobies compilations from Rhino. Volume 1 covers the Tom Johnston era of guitar-driven boogie and harmony rock; Volume 2 leans on the Michael McDonald years of smoother blue-eyed soul. Together they hold the band's biggest singles, from "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'" to "What a Fool Believes" and "Minute by Minute." It suits casual fans who want the hits in one place on vinyl rather than full albums, and it stands against single-disc Doobies compilations by covering both eras instead of one.
