Readers Digest Classical Collections should be reissued
The sets featuring the Hollywood Bowl orchestra with Leonard Pennario on piano are quite good. The reason so many of these box sets are in mint condition is that mostly older folks subscribed to "the club." They got played maybe one time, and quit...

Thanks for the friendship guys.  Believe me, It's very important in these times. Open heart surgery isn't for the faint of heart.  Oh, wait ... I've been experimenting with a new product as a "tester."  I'm not allowed to discuss it because it's n... 
Someone want to verify this?

al ...Thanks. I watched some extensive YouTube videos on the heart valve replacements. The technological advancements have been nothing short of amazing. There are total geniuses working in the background to extend human life. They get no credit, ...

Thanks, guys ...The Doc told me that he uses special Graphene contact enhancers on the new valves along with Herbie's valve dampeners. I asked him if the new valves were "directional," and he looked at me askew and said ... "the only thing that's ...

j_damon ...Nice analog rig you have there. If it uses a "flat" belt as opposed to a "round" belt, get the Origin Live custom belt. Its worth every penny and far more. You'll think you've upgraded a component ... its that good. Now you've really go...
