The couch we purchased for our condo is from Macy's and we are very pleased with it.  People are always surprised we bought it there.

The original recordings for Columbia - his later recordings for Deutsche Gramophone I'm not fond of and I really don't like the sound.  These, with this new remastering, are fantastic.

I find the DG's tempos to be lethargic. Sadly, it's also the set I own the most of.

Watching Bullitt for the first time in may 25 years. The Lilo Schifrin score is great. Just a solidly built action movie with those great chase scenes through San Francisco.

The hills and the curves remind me a little of driving in Crete, though the countryside isn't remotely similar.
