If you wanted to impress someone, which track?

My Show Piece tracks are as follows. For digital playback it’s Pink Floyd - The Wall "Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall" taken from the MFSL Gold CD. Mac is right everybody knows it.

For vinyl, Katrina And The Waves “Waves” : Lovely Lindsey and The Beach Boys “Surfs Up” all of side two.

NWA, Straight Out of Compton. The whole album was recorded in 24 bit resolution and it sounds amazing. Both the gold version and the SACD sound great.

Queens first and best LP (IMHO), the track Great King Rat ! Cheers

"Tunnel of Love" Da Boss...

Pink Floyd - The Wall "Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall"

It's a track everyone knows, but they have usually never experienced the helicopter sound, then the intro anything like that. We pick a lot of jaws up off the floor with that one.

Did it yesterday as a matter of fact, with a neighbor who didn't know what a turntable could sound like.

He kept trying to listen for the pops and clicks, and freaked when I told him the actual vinyl itself was from 1980.

Fun stuff.

Roger Waters' "Amused to Death" gold CD. The entire CD is recorded in Q sound and has sound staging and imaging unlike anything I have heard. You will hear things sound like it is to your far right and left and on some of the tracks , behind you with only 2 stereo speakers. I have had people searching for the other "hidden speakers".. It's amazing. You must be positioned perfectly between the speakers. Let me know if you try it.

Thom Rotella Band, trk #3, Naima--play loud only if your system can handle it!

Neil Young's Unplugged version of "Unknown Legend".

In addition to a fine live recording of a great tune in general, I can point out the exact location in the recording of the guy in the audience who, understandably, goes "Whooo" about 1/3 of the way through!
