Good! And if you don't mind me adding a bit...

Decca/London Dutch pressings--don't pass them up.
If you're in the US, shop the bargain bins at HalfPrice Books. Lots of minty classical albums, better than the full-priced classical section. I've found Szell/Cleveland stuff on Epic Stereorama gold label, London, Phillips, RCA, Mercury etc.
Last trip, a large stash of music by 20th Century American composers on mint Turnabout (an under-rated label), even some rarely-recorded Rimsky-Korsakov ("The Invisible City of Kitezh"). Dollar each and it was a 20%-off day.
Columbia Odysseys performed by Eugene Ormandy and the Philly are several cuts above the rest, at least to my ears. The Oistrakh Sibelius violin concerto, and Cesar Franck's Symphonic Variations for Piano and Orchestra immediately spring to mind. The latter is as good as the London/Deccas.
