Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about

I thought this could be fun and actually helpful for some of us wanting something different in our collection. 
One recording that I show off my system with is 
Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments.... at the beginning of this track,  there is a bird chirping,  on my system, it is about 3 feet beyond the left speaker and about 10 to 12 feet up,  this bird flies forward, then turns and comes right above your head.  Above your head, it is about 8 to 10 feet up,  it then turns and flies away going right above the right speaker and disappears into the distance.  
So,  what else is there out there that we should all know about that you just know we would all like to have in our collection.  
Please let us know,  Tim

I play my analogue via surround sound
I was surprised to hear on Led Zep 2 Thank You, half way through, random talking out of middle surround right - something that stereo would never have picked out
Makes you wonder if this was by design or laziness and not noticed so left in
There is  of course the Beatles theory with Led Zep, that lots are built in that are there for Led Zep's amusement

Off the top of my head when this topic arises as it has over the years the single recording that pops into my head for sound effects  and multitracked vocals "I'm not in love" by 10 cc. I have a Japanese Shim recording on a sampler and it is quite remarkable. The history of the making of this recording is worth checking out.

From my memory, "Crime of the Century" is very good.
