the Rolling Stones, "Have Mercy" (from Out Of Our Heads CD [dual-layer version w. SACD])...and this is from 1965!! Can't remember if there was this much bass on the vinyl, but of so, they must have bribed the bass-censors at London Records' pressing plant.

Another rediscovered house shaker, never mind the floor - Verdi's Requiem, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus (Telarc)

Along similar lines to Huwge, Mahler's 8th symphony is stunningly good for this (there's a reason it is known as the symphony of 1000 Eek).

Best digital recording is Sinopoli with the Philharmonia but Solti with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is also hard to beat (Simon Rattle and his recent CBSO effort comes a close third).

Trust me on this one....or better yet get a copy for yourself. If they are still available-given the short half-lives of EPs and CD singles, this would only cost you a couple of quid. And the production is outstanding-much more involving and emotive than the single on AM radio, which is how I knew it before.

Thanks Huwge and Tam, I'm gonna pick up a copy of each. How I love my floor when it gets a shakin'!

I like to scare people when they walk in the house with the famous cannonball scene from 1812.

What? Naim advertises that their products should be played *bleepin* loud.

The end of Sex Born Poison by Air has got some seriously deep synth bass on it - would love to hear that through some DBLs Smile

PS - as a Second, I remember knocking my mate's mum's flowerpots off their expensive new speakers onto their even more expensive white pile carpet by playing a record called "Don't be a Dummy" (used to be a Lee Cooper ad) at full whack way back in the 70's Cool
