Mostly Direct to Disc LP's:
Sheffield:  Thelma Houston's Pressure Cooker, Harry James' "Coming From A Good Place"

Dixie Direct (D to D):  Rosie O'Grady's Good Times Jazz Band.  From the delicate sounds of a triangle (Intro to "Japanese Sandman"), to a Romping Stomping Tuba Solo on "When You're Smiling", and all kinds of really invigorating Dixieland in between. The best recording I have ever heard!  I saw the bans at Orlando's Rosie O'Grady's Good Time Emporium, which had not only the biggest Dixie Land Band I ever saw, but even had well coiffed, hoops dress laden ladies coning down the wide staircase from the balconies.  The last time I went, there were even a bunch of sailors on leave.  One even got into a fight with a Marine.  I wondered if it were a part of the show, and still don't know.
Thanx for the tip. LMS has a Band Camp plug in. Sounds tasty on my streamers. What I like is totally irrelevant to you.
This list will keep me busy this summer!

One of my favorites:  That Voice Again  by Peter Gabriel from the album So.
This song covers the full frequency spectrum- crystal clear detailed highes next to a driving bass line from Tony Levin.  Unless you have a subwoofer this song is an example of the advantages of floor standing speakers. This one I love to play loud to get the full effect - about 90dB+ will do it :)
