"Waltz For Debby" is one of my favorites as well.
Usually I'm listening to certain pieces when I'm changing speaker positions and toe-in to make sure I have things set up the way I want them. I almost always start by making sure that the stereo image has an great "center" with Eva Cassidy's LP "Songbird". Then I'll put on a Kevyn Lettau CD with some great spatial qualities called "The Color of Love", and then there's an interesting bass track on one song of Harry Connick Jr.'s CD "She". Then I put on an LP that has been my first play since I got it in 1974 - Gary Burton "The New Quartet" on ECM. And once all that sounds right, then usually it's the entire Jaco Pastorius "Birthday Concert" CD. I saw Jaco and his big band in Chicago about three months after that CD was recorded (Jaco's 30th birthday was December 1, 1981) and it's still easily the best live show I've ever seen.
Of course, there's always the UHQR of "Sgt. Pepper's" or the Classic Records 200 gram pressing of "Quadrophenia".........
