One of my bands covered that version - fun and funky!

What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?

@newbee " ...she was ’blown away’ and exhausted! I should have prepped her better, but I just assumed.....! :-)" I don’t think I’ve ever had that problem with a date.    
My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?
