What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you?

Cheeky recordings are particularly good at delivering a natural sound stage.  For example, listen to Rebecca Pidgeon singing “Spanish Harlem.”  Another outstanding example of soundstaging is Natalie Merchant singing “Peppery Man” with backing vocals by the Fairfield Four.”

I have the CD. I’ll listen to it and stream it as well.

Thanks

I have a bunch of jazz CD’s from that era and most of them are mono. I’m trying to understand how I can get depth without stereo imaging?

Thanks.

I have a copy of that Chesky test album (cd) and that recording of Spanish Harlem is spectacular, but I’m barely hearing the depth. I’ll look for that recording of “Peppery Man today.  Maybe I need to play with my speakers again.

Thanks.

Chris Isaak, other than the tune they played over and over again, I really don’t know his stuff much. Can you narrow my search down a little?🙃

Thanks
