Here are a few tracks which have various sound stages, depth and front to back that give my stuff a pretty good workout.

Cowboy Junkies - Sweet jane
Yes. I agree.
The spatial aspect of the song is attention-getting.

Back in a prior career I was told that the first pressing of an album is usually done using virgin vinyl, and that the subsequent pressings are usually done with recycled vinyl (i.e., bits of shredded paper labels (or worse) may be present in the vinyl).
But you may have a good copy of that great album. :)
YMMV and all that.

If I may elaborate a bit...
Listening to rock music via headphones is, can be, a new experience.
For example, with a typical production, you'll hear instrument in your left ear, or your right ear, or some odd space over the top of your head.
But occasionally, a song comes along where it sounds different, and not in a subtle way.
The aforementioned Cowboy Junkies song, well it is not about hearing a left/right/above thing. It is about being enveloped in the sound. It is like being wrapped in a warm blanket of comfortable music. It is difficult to describe. But I will say, when you are listening with headphones and an appropriate headphone song comes along, you will know.
New Order's True Faith (The Morning Sun extended mix) has a bit of that enveloping aspect to it.

You would like Sting's Brand New Day as well for this type of sound experience.
