When I recently purchased this MoFI SACD of the Doobies' Minute by Minute, I had forgotten that I already had the Japanese SACD. I have a very good SACD player and thus, I was able to compare the two. I first played the new MoFi and then the Japanese version. In contrast to many other MoFi SACDs, this one didn't sound much better or even different than the Redbook version. The Japanese version, however, had everything that a listener would want in a SACD, that is, a tight bass, a wide sound stage, and stellar instrumental and voice separation. Some listeners may find the Japanese version a bit too precise but with the album's production, electronic as well as acoustic keyboards, background synths and acoustic orchestral parts along with its original mix, it's overall faithful to what Ted Templeman and the Doobies likely heard on their studio monitors.
