Hi CW. I'll nominate Madonna's Immaculate Collection, for the image and soundstage.
Also, Rickie Lee Jones' early albums for overall emotional content and recording quality. Makes for superb demos, and just plain enjoyment.
Best of Bread, will knock you dead.(Hey, that rhymes!)
Willie Nelson, Stardust album has got to be on the list.
Weather Report, Heavy Weather, is great instrumental.
Fleetwood Mac, the songs "Landslide" and "Crystal" have always been some of my favorites for demoing.
If you can take Mexican Mariachi music, Linda Ronstadt's Canciones de mi Padre, has some of the best recording and realistic life-like stuff I've ever heard on a CD. Not sure if it is available on vinyl.
There's a few for you.
