Best tracks to "show off" your system

To Wstritt: Yes, Sheffield Labs did issue a CD of Thelma Houston's "I've Got The Music In Me". It's not as good as the D-to-D version (obviously), but it's better than I expected. Sheffield also did an LP-reissue of this same recording, using the 1st generation backup analog master tape.

1.Widespread Panic's album Everyday. Huge dynamics with David Schools playing bass, JB's soulful voice and Michael Houser picking the quitar.

2.Col. Bruce Hampton & The Aquarium Rescue Unit recorded live at the Georgia Theatre. Absolutley amazing sound! The louder the better. Jimmy Herron, Otil, Col. Bruce, Matt Mundy, Jeff Sipe. If you can find it buy it.

3. The Grateful Dead- One from the Vault. The help on the way/Franklins tower tracks. Phils bass in unstoppable and of course Jerry.

Any of the Bruce Cockburn re-issues on Rounder. They are fantastic.

Pragmatist; Great post. I have most of what I like and enough of what others like so that I can please those who would like to appreciate my system.

Before playing, I really do like to 'listen'. Then I(and my system) get the best compliments.

I love it when someone starts a thread like this. It's a GREAT way to discover new music that is " recorded well ". Thanks Kray.

Here are a few songs that I have used for a long time to show off my system.
1. James McMurtry , Candyland . Track 10 ,, " Dusty Pages " . Big ,wide, deep soundstage on my system. I have almost everything James has recorded. John Mellencamp Produced this cd.
2. Fourplay , There first cd . Track 8 ,, " Midnight Stroll " , Track 9 ,, "October morning" , Track 10 ,, "Wish you were here" . Great recordings ! They should show off your system , Big time !
3. Lyle Lovett , and his large band . Track 4 ,, "Good intentions" ,, Track 5 ,, " I know you know" . If your system is working Lyle Lovett and his band should be in your Listening room .

Here is a recent discovery I just bought because of a thread like this one.
Jack Johnson , On and on . Just about any song blows me away !

Now ,, I'm headed out to buy a few cd's that people have been kind enough to post here. Thank you .
