Description

Columbia 33CX 1286-88 1N/1N/1N/3N/3N/1N - Bach - The Unaccompanied Violin Sonatas n.1-6

Covers:
1286: EX(+); very light ring wear
1287: EX+
1288: EX(+); light scuffed back seam
All seams are strong, all corners straight, all originals inners
Vinyls: 
1286: EX(+); some innocent re-sleeving traces. A 1 inch shallow nail scuff over band 3 side 1 is not causing any problems. A light re-sleeving trace over band 2 side 2 is not causing any problems, a small pressure pit on band 3 side 2 is causing 3 light tics only
1287: NM-; no defects to mention
1288: EX+; a tiny pressure pit halfway band 2 side 1 is causing a few light tics, another little pit on band 3 side 2 is causing 5 light tics

The entire set has been played very sparsely. Dynamics are perfect, no groove noise on any side. Martzy's playing is divine... An elusive set...
Rating in numbers 1286 would be 7.8 out of 10 / 1287 would be 9.2 out of 10 / 1288 would be 8.5 out of 10

The entire set is play graded on my mono setup; it provides by far the best sound quality for these kind of recordings / pressings

REGARDING SHIPPING: AS THE FINAL PRICE IS EXPECTED TO BE SERIOUS, THE HIGHEST BIDDER MUST CONTACT ME HOW TO INSURE AND DECLARE THIS SET!!!!!

Standard Postage:
Less than 2 kg (average up to 6 records): Europe $15; outside Europe $30

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I grade visually and (partly) play grade whenever in doubt. Stereo issues on a Linn LP12 with a Lyra Delos cartridge. Mono issues on a Thorens TD135 with a General Electric VRII cartridge; please be aware that this is a true mono Variable Reluctance cartridge, thus playing with a minimum of groove noise and hardly picking up any imperfections that these older mono records frequently have

As I don't have my own professional cleaning equipment, records are not cleaned. As a keen collector, no doubt you will have your own preferences. In my experience records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning

Payment: worldwide - PayPal

Shipping in new solid custom made LP cardboard

Due to an increasing amount of 'non-delivery' parcels in the past, I have no other option than to send with 'Registered - Track & Trace' services only.  No exceptions anymore unfortunately, unless you will explicitly wave my responsibility regarding non-delivery.  Records over $500 will only be send insured

Finally: in case you don't agree with my ratings or have any other issue with my listing, please contact me and we shall work it out. I will give full refunds (item price + shipping costs), however the shipping costs for sending the item back is for the buyer unless I have made a significant mistake.
