IT was recorded using some special processing in its day that gives it that sound. A few others back then as well.

Madonna's soundstage
I hadn't listed to her Immaculate Collection in a while. I have changed some components since the last time and was blown away at the soundstage of this album! I normally get a decent appreciation for my system's soundstage. My system is in a large asymmetrical space and I am unsure if I can ever achieve what can be in a dedicated listening room. When I played this album today there were sounds coming from 5 feet beyond the speakers and my listening triangle is only 9 feet! It was on multiple songs and was so cool! I was curious if this album is a standout for others as well.

Thanks, mapman....very interesting. I was not aware of this processing. It is impressive how the vocals and most instruments stay true to a soundstage with those added '3D' components. I will have to take a closer listen to the others on the list

for clarification, I only copied and pasted the list of albums shown in Wikipedia. As I looked back again it said above this list that there were over 60 released and that short list were the notable ones. You can see the full list here https://www.qsound.com/spotlight/users/recording-artists4.htm |
