Best Jazz and Rock & Roll HDCD CDs


Hi, Just checking to see if anyone can make some recommendations on the best HDCD CDs you've heard for Jazz and Rock & Roll? Thanks

- if you have any other genres (Classical, etc, etc.) on HDCD that you thing are particularly excellent, that's fine too. Thanks

Don't forget "Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell" by The Flaming Lips. Love that one.
Great thread!
I bought Joni Mitchell, Blue with HDCD to compare to the original cd and the LP. Well my LP is too worn out to be fair but the HDCD beat the original cd without a doubt. This on I believe I could do in a blind test.
Some others in clude:
A Nod to Bob, a tribute album on Red House Records. Check their web site for this excellent and somewhat different tribute album. It's different because there are no big name stars just wonderful renditions of some great music.
Laura Love, You Ain't Got no Easter Clothes. This is a woman with a tale to tell.
A while back I also bought Manassas in HDCD so I could compare it to a pristine LP. Thanks for the reminder. I'll try it tonight.
I got Coldplay's Parachutes and also A Rush of Blood to the Head from Japan or Hong Kong, can't remember which, on ebay. I compared Parachutes with non HDCD US version and gave the US version to my sister.
The Doors huh? Will look into that.
