Also, the quality of the discs themselves is much
higher than modern versions, which you can easily see and feel when you
hold one of these great old CDs. They are thicker and more sturdy, and
have a mirror finish to them. It is believed that the extra care and
quality control used at early CD pressing plants also contributes to
the increased sound quality of many of these older CDs.

Peter Wolf Biography
Best known for his tenure fronting the J. Geils Band, singer Peter
Wolf was born and raised in the Bronx, and came from a family active in
show business. His father was a dancer, song plugger, disc jockey and
singer of light opera; his mother, an organizer for the civil rights
and labor movements, was a teacher for inner-city children in the
Bronx. Wolf's earliest passion was painting, and he was accepted on a
scholarship to the Museum of Modern Art's Special Studies for Children,
and later to the High School of Music and Art, just blocks from the
Apollo Theater, where the young Wolf would make weekly visits. Seeing
performers like Jackie Wilson, Dinah Washington, Otis Redding and James
Brown sparked his early interest in blues and R&B. After graduating
from high school, he hitchhiked through the Midwest; in Chicago, he
became involved in a couple of blues and folk music societies while
studying painting at the University of Chicago. While there, he visited
the Southside blues clubs, drawing influences from the musicians he saw
there.
With a grant to study at the Boston Museum School of Fine
Arts, he became a disc jockey on WBCN-FM, hosting a show called The
All-Night House Party. The show touched on many musical bases, and
reflected Wolf's own broad musical interests. While still in college in
Boston, Wolf joined his first musical group, comprised of fellow art
students. They played blues music, and later got to meet and tour with
their heroes like John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. In 1967, he formed
the group that would go on to become the J. Geils Band, which began
playing clubs around New England. Their first big break was a chance to
play at the Fillmore East in New York City, and they became known for
their marathon live performances, with Wolf establishing a reputation
as a particularly dynamic frontman. The group was signed to Atlantic
Records by producer/impresario Jerry Wexler, and toured constantly over
the next couple of years, performing as special guests with the Rolling
Stones throughout the U.S. and Europe. At one of these concerts, Wolf
met actress Faye Dunaway, whom he later married for a short time.
In
1983, the group was at the height of their popularity, and had gone 17
years without a personnel change. Finally, the J. Geils Band went their
separate ways and Wolf went on to produce numerous film soundtracks and
run art exhibits of his original paintings. In 1984, he released his
first solo album, Lights Out, followed in 1987 by Come as You Are,
which spurred the hit single of the same name. In between albums he
worked on duets with Mick Jagger and Aretha Franklin, who recruited him
specifically for her Who's Zoomin' Who album. In 1989, after a
six-month songwriting retreat in Nashville, he recorded his third solo
album, Up to No Good, which appeared the following year. In 1994, Wolf
assembled a group of musicians and began playing clubs as a way to test
out newer material on live audiences. It was the live feeling he so
successfully captured on Long Line, his 1996 Reprise/Warner Bros.
release. Fool's Parade followed two years later.
