HDCD recommendations??

Hi. I love many types of music, and still favor my Arcam HDCD player over my newer 24-bit unit. The better HDCD discs just sound better to me. Among my favorite are the Beck "Sea Change" disc, Patrica Barber's Cafe Blue, the Tom Petty "Tracks" collection, and a few others. I don't know much about classical, but like tracks with bass drum and percussion. Any other HDCD must haves?

KD Lang Live by Request is as lush as Sea Change. People I know who are not into her find this album quite good. There is a accomplished band behind her.

Waveman- Which Rolling Stones CD's are in HDCD? I have the ones that are SACD hybrids.

One thing I've noticed lately is that not all HDCDs are labeled. I've got several that light up the HDCD light on my DAC but aren't labeled as HDCD anywhere I can see. I like the HDCDs as well and this is frustrating.

Some of my favorites are the Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music titles although they aren't everyone's cup of tea.
Agreed on Sea Change, very nice.
