Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps

 I'm an Elton John fan too,but find the recordings too compressed unfortunately:( I still enjoy them though.The other day I really wanted to hear some Blood Sweat and Tears tunes.Spinning Wheel is a very dynamic song!I'd sort of forgotten about them.Lots of brass,drums,bass,and that powerful voice of course:)

Of course you should use recordings you know and love.Nothing wrong with enjoying something new and adding to your favorite evaluation tracks.

I saw EJ live twice and the recordings don't do him justice.He's an amazing piano player!He slurs his vocals so I can understand why he's recorded somewhat 'hot' to get more definition.I wish more time and care had been taken with the recordings,but it is pop music and they were cranking out album after album back in the day.
