music with clear placement of the instruments.

I love recordings of the 50'and 60'. One reason being that they had a very clear placement of the instruments in the stereo field.
That is quiet hard to find nowadays even with audiophile productions.

Sound Liaison http://www.soundliaison.com/ with their hi-res downloads are very good in that respect, very clear and defined sound stage.
Reference Recordings same kind of quality and placement,

but with my other favorites, ECM, Blue Coast, Linn, to name a few, it is a bit of hit and miss.
Here is a you tube link with an example of the type of placement I prefer; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u35c-p-tSqU
or this one which is a bit more extreme;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak6Ca37crr0&list=PLFDE4E422757F76BF

Suggestions please. (if possible with a link to homepage or youtube example.

I'll try to answer Viridian's question:
When I go to concert in good venue and close my eyes, I often hear a clear placement of instruments. I certainly can't tell placement of each 'line' violinist of large symphony orchestra, but able to place small jazz or chamber quartet that performs with no mikes in Minnesota Symphony Hall, Place of Arts(Montreal), Gesu(Montreal).
