It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Richter's Classic Bach on Sale 30% off: Do you Bach fans still pull him off the shelf?

Richter was never my no. 1 Bach man, though I have and still occasionally listen to his box of the Suites and Brandenburgs.
My favorite from the LP era always was, and still is, Karl Munchinger, especially with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra that he founded early in his career.
His 1964 St. Matthew Passion on London/Decca, with Ameling, Hoffgen, Pears, Wunderlich, Prey and Krause, is to me one of the highlights of the classical LP era (only Marga Hoffgen is perhaps less than ideal), along with Fricsay's Beethoven 9, Munch's Daphnis et Chloe, Horowitz at Carnegie Hall, etc.
