Compass junkie here - Barlow and Stampede Pass ELs on all my bikes (except my Moser, on Vittoria Open Pave hand-glued tires).
Compass are the best vulcanized tires ever made, and you can only tell them from good tubulars before they warm up.
They also offer 700c, 650b and 26" (ISO 559) in a wide range of widths, and fast knobbies, as well.
If you're looking for good 590s - Brit 650A, you can get them from Japan - all these tires are made by Panaracer (Compass included), but with proprietary casings and compounds

If you need 27" (ISO 630) Panaracer Pasela is really the only good choice, available from 1" to 1-1/4" - these don't have the fancy casings and compounds of the tires above, but are the best out there in this rim size.
