J Geils Band-The Morning After
After staying up way late drinking and listening to tunes I figure this one was appropriate.

Dollar vinyl (1970) second pressing?
"Gatefold cover. Cover comes from the original issue and has the spine catalog number covered up and replaced by a wraparound sticker. The first catalog number appears on the sticker and on the center labels. The second catalog number comes from the back of the sleeve." -

CD 53 of 90 from "30 Years Outside the Box"
I listened to this one many times before my wife gave me the "Outside the Box" collection, and it has been one of my favorites for a long time.
Each of these guys is a master of his instrument; and, they make an extraordinary ensemble.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers.

CD 54 of 90 from "Yo-Yo Ma: 30 Years Outside the Box."
This album is essentially a recitation of an epic poem in seven parts about the life of King Gesar of Tibet, that is set to music by Peter Lieberson with a libretto by Douglas Penick. Until I lifted it out of the box to play it, I had never heard of its existence, which may indicate my ignorance or the CDs lack of popularity (or both).
While it is not extraordinary music, it is an unusual and unique listening experience. It is worth a listen. I shall not be returning to it often, but I am glad that I am experiencing it.
It is not a great piece for showcasing a two-channel system, but the soundstage presents clearly and precisely the narrator (and occasional singer) surrounded by the various instruments as they are described in the liner notes.

CD 56 of 90 from "Yo-Yo Ma: 30 Years Outside the Box"
Extraordinary contemporary classical music not to be used for light listening or background music. It is demanding and worth the effort for those who like the concerto form and the cello.
PS: One might well ask why the cover photo was shot with Ma sitting on a collapsible stool in the snow and why Ma is wearing an overcoat and half-finger gloves. The answer is that these three pieces were recorded in Phildelphia during the early January blizzard of 1996. They were lucky to have finished the recording sessions, and apparently the photo pays homage to this foul weather.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers.
