Szigeti, Bach, Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin Vanguard BG 627/9 Red Labels

This is the very rare and highly sought classic, "J.S. Bach, Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin" by  Joseph Szigethi, on Vanguard , catalogue # BG 627/9. This is a highly sought Vangurad recording under the auspices of The Bach guild

This LP looks great. I hate rating records because there is such a subjective disparity on evaluations, but I'd rate this LP as follows. 

Vinyl:   A conservative VG++, nice, and shiny with very few visible slight scratches or scuffs. Plays very well with a few occasional tics. There are spindle marks on most labels too. Please see pics.

Jacket:  VG++ w/ little ring wear or scuffing, but couple split corners on the box. All the liners are in excellent condition (see pics).

If you love fine recordings, analog vinyl, and this set of LPs in particular, you need to give it your full attention. Due to the value of these recordings, the will be packed with some reinforcing materials to assure their protection, and that is reflected in the shipping costs.

Don't let it get away!!

These are the guidelines I grade with.

Assume grading to be "visual" unless noted.

Grades for vinyl :

M : new, un-played, perfect.

M-/NM : like new but carefully played a limited amount of times. Should play perfect with almost no noise or imperfections. May show very faint imperfections from paper scuffs or tiny needle marks.

EX : as above with a few light needle marks, or a few  light surface scratches, and/or inaudible or barely audible scuffs. a very nice used record

VG+ : no groove wear, but some visible scuffs and surface scratches. Should still play with nice fidelity, but will have an occasional pop, tick, and light surface noise, surface noise between tracks. A normal used record.

VG : still showing good gloss but lots of small scratches and scuffs. A slightly abused record that should still play through without skips, but will have light surface noise throughout, pops, ticks, and maybe some light distortion around the edges. I do not consider VG to be a junk grade

VG- to G : any record in less than VG condition that I feel is still worth offering

Grades for jackets:

M : perfect. no wear, square flat corners, solid seams, spine etc.

M-/NM : overall appearance of front and back near perfect but may have a very small problem or faint age wear that I will explain.

EX : as above, nice "un-handled" feel, but may have a small split, a bent corner or two, very light ring wear, small writing. Or a M- jacket with a drill hole, saw-cut, or promo stamp.

VG+ : still have a nice overall appearance, but may have the following defects: seam splits, spine splits, small tears, ring wear, writing, small stains, etc. in various (not severe) degrees. 

VG : defects as above in a greater degree, and possibly a "handled", or "worn" feel to the paper. possible neat tape repairs. will still look good when in a poly-bag.

G or G+ : getting ugly, but for some reason still worth offering.

As of September 22, 2009, eBay will no longer allow sellers to include shipping insurance as an option for buyers to purchase, so insurance fees WILL be added to shipping fees in ALL cases.

Alaska, Hawaii, and international will be determined based upon destination, but will probably run at least $23.00 for insured, USPS Priority Mail International overseas delivery. I'm sorry, but First Class Mail is not available as it is uninsurable and more costly if upgraded to Registered Mail.

Important Note to International bidders!!!!

Insurance IS REQUIRED on ALL International shipments

As of September 22, 2009, eBay will no longer allow sellers to include shipping insurance as an option for buyers to purchase, so insurance fees WILL be added to shipping fees in ALL cases.

As of 5/14/2007 the United States Postal Service has changed it's delivery options and has discontinued some popular services, most notable Economy (Surface) Parcel Post and replaced them with Priority Mail International. While there are some benefits to the new services, such as much faster delivery, the costs for shipping have increased dramatically. Please inquire as to what shipping may run before bidding as the costs have usually at least doubled over the previous rates.
