Does anyone have a favourite recording, or good demonstration, of

What's gonna happen with that request is that peeps dump their lists
full of vocals recorded dead centre accompanied by the main
instruments, with the sides shifted far left and right.

Some rather dynamic suggestions ...

Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd
from 'Wish You Were Here'

Wherever you think the instruments were in the studio, you are wrong.
Of course, you might be able to hear where the engineer decided to
place them.

I didn't see the OP ask specifically for accurate *actual* imaging. I listen
to a lot of studio recordings with excellent imaging that was created by an
engineer and enjoy them.

ISTR that the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions is pretty good,
though I haven't listened to it since I got the ESLs.

It's one of my favourite recordings and sounds great on my non-ESL speakers
(no wank here, just appreciation of music).

And I would have to listen to my Thomas Tallis collection to choose
the best.

Is that comment for anyone's benefit other than your own? Did you follow up?
Findings?
