Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps

Sixty Years On by Elton John.
A Demanding song with Orchestra, and a Lot of Head Room.
Played loud, it reveals Intense Strings and Swells
Whichever Preamp does That best, Wins !
The other one goes up for sale, period.

Cheers all !

And his masterpiece Tumbleweed Connection. Come down in time and so on.
Elton was really great before he became too big...and lost Bernie. His voice often recorded a little to "hot". Not so much on his collaboration with Leon Russel.

Of course you should use recordings you know and love.Nothing wrong with enjoying something new and adding to your favorite evaluation tracks.

I saw EJ live twice and the recordings don't do him justice.He's an amazing piano player!He slurs his vocals so I can understand why he's recorded somewhat 'hot' to get more definition.I wish more time and care had been taken with the recordings,but it is pop music and they were cranking out album after album back in the day.

If you like an acoustic recording; guitar, piano and violin this is a fun song.  Belle of Newcastle/Scruff Neck, on album Flying on Home.  Streamed from Deezer.
