Today’s MMB album is 1998’s Hurrah For The Yellow and Blue. Again digitally produced locally by Brookwood Studio after recording sessions in Crisler Arena (this time December 1996 and October/December 1997), this album features a Kevin L. Sedatole-directed iteration of the band that is on the brink of the football program’s National Championship. The liner notes are once again quite detailed, and include a complete roster.

Tracklist standouts: El Toro Caliente (used during the '98 Rose Bowl, made its return at halftime of 42-27), Beatles Medley, Gershwin Medley, Mambo, Little Brown Jug, Grieg Medley, and a set of patriotic songs.

Though unfortunately there are no online recordings of this album available (as far as I could tell), Discogs has a NM CD listing ($21) and Amazon has a used CD listing ($16).
