The best recorded music? Have you heard of The English Contra Dance Band?
They have a CD out with 11 tracks. All tracks are 11 times through the
dance, except for 2 tracks which are 7 times through for a square dance.
Wonderful fiddling by Linda Game and with Gareth Kiddier thumping out the
rhythm. Great music for contra dancing!

OK fellow callers, shall we compile a nice big
list/thread to serve as
reference to those in need, since this seems to keep coming up? Hit that
reply-with-quote button and let's share/compare...
(I'm leaving my answers off so this can be an easy template)
MY FAVORITE, MOST USEFUL, MOST USED RECORDED MUSIC:
Albums specifically recorded to be danceable for contras:
Albums specifically recorded to be danceable for other formations:
Albums not specifically intended for live dancing, but nonetheless
containing enough good material to be worth buying for that purpose:
Single tracks on otherwise not-always-danceable albums:
Non-contra recordings that work for dancing (klezmer, swing, etc):
