Best Jazz and Rock & Roll HDCD CDs

Hi, Just checking to see if anyone can make some recommendations on the best HDCD CDs you've heard for Jazz and Rock & Roll? Thanks

- if you have any other genres (Classical, etc, etc.) on HDCD that you thing are particularly excellent, that's fine too. Thanks

Steely Dan on HDCD - I don't think so......
I checked to be sure, 'cause if they were I'd go get 'em this afternoon - couldn't find any. DVD-A and dts yes, but not HDCD.

I have all the remastered Steely Dan CDs, they are not HDCD. Check out www.HDCD.com for a complete list.

As above the details are correct Steely Dan are not HDCD'S.

I may also be wrong but the HK/Jap. Coldplay (and I believe U2 also)may be elaborate pirates.Yes the HDCD light comes on with these (my mate has a Levinson and has loaned me A Rush Of Blood To The Head)but wouldn't it be possible to copy the HDCD signature on the disc without the actual recording process?
I've seen Floyd discs advertised as such also and those are pirates/fakes.

Yes, I was tempted to purchase some of these supposed HDCDs from eBay, with the seller being from China. I decided not to bid.
