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

So stereo separation is relatively easy but what are some songs/albums where the singer seems closer to you. So we all can see the Beatles on stage with Ringo in the back, Paul on the front left, George in the back right and John in the front right. 


What music would you all suggest where you can hear both the left / right separation and the front / back separation?  I hope I’m making myself clear.

Thanks.

It’s funny, like probably everyone else, I have Pet Sounds, but I must admit, I’ve never heard Sunflower. Thanks, I’ll check it out.

I do have a very old very worn, copy of Transformer. I’m probably going to have to listen to the CD or stream instead.

Thanks.

That Lou Reed track is indeed interesting as far as vocal placement is concerned.  The backing female singers start way back in the soundstage (low in volume with a lot of reverb) and then, while they are singing, the volume increases and the amount of reverb decreases, so that it sounds like they are moving forward rapidly until they are right in your face.  Fascinating effect.

What a fun recording to listen to. I have never been disappointed with a Chesky.
