The japanese Blu-ray set is currently 62 % off again on amazon japan. I had this on my radar since 2011 and got it finally earlier this year when it was 65 % off.. Yes its still around 250 $ but if you are a fan of the show its money well spent. Picture quality is excellent and some episodes can be watched with the M+E (Music and Effects) track only. Once you have figured out how to navigate the japanese menu (which is easy) you can watch them in english w/o subtitles. They also play on US Blu-ray players. As of today the japanese set is still the only way to own the complete series in HD on blu-ray.
Is that.the one with.the 90 minute ETUDE IN BLACK?

and with the proper music.for CONSPIRATORS?
There are two versions of Etude in Black. One thats probably the original 75 min cut w/o commercials that only aired in Canada AFAIK and the extended 90 min cut w/o commercials with additional scenes shot much later (they are easy to spot if you watch Cassavetes' hair length..). About that irish tune i would have to check - but as far as i remember it is there and i remember reading somewhere somebody confirmed the japanese Blu-rays are intact..

Sorry, i am not able to rip blu-rays.. I don´t even have a blu-ray drive on my computer which is almost eight, nine years old. I can only play DVDs. I am not really up to date personal computer-wise...
I watched Columbo growing up but not since. All I really remember was how Columbo would continually badger his suspects as he tightened the noose around their necks.
