Songs with solid center staging

As title states, I'm looking for good songs with a solid center for tuning. What songs do you use?

An old standy that used to be on the IASCA disc was Jennifer Warnes' Ain't No Cure for Love from the Famous Blue Raincoat disc. Another good one I heard was James Taylor's version of Stevie Wonders Isn't She Lovely. It's on one of the Focal discs. Another one I like is Spanish Harlem from the USACi disc.

the narrative tracks on the iasca cd are as good as you will find for trying to set up a good center image

Unfortunately the only IASCA CD I have is from 2001. With the Pink panther and Sanford and Sons, lol. Still a good CD none the less... I'm going to have to buy one at the next show I go to. I'm just looking for some good songs to tune center imaging to.

Thanks to everyone for their input. This looks like it's going to be an interesting CD. Can't wait to get them all together.

, I thank you for the offer..... if I lived closer I'd take you up on it. I have a 2001 IASCA disk. I'm just looking for good songs with solid center placement.
