What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes?

I have several that I use but Mannheim Steamroller is nearly always in the mix. Does anyone else still listen to them or is it just me?

A lot of re-master stuff was terrible but this is different. I guess this is why people stream, it's so easy to check something out without buying it. Thanks for the suggestions.
