These recordings of the six Bach Suites by Iwan d'Archambeau took place in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, at the estae of Mr. Raymond Pitcairn, a patron of the Arts under the direction of his son, Lachlan Pitcairn, in April 1953. The sound of the recording, though not in true stereo, sounds just fine. There are no obvious aberrations in the quality of sound. Enjoy.

New Policy Changes, Effective July 15, 2015

      Only my pricing policy has changed, primarily because of the labor intensive nature of selling records the Craig Chase Vinyl way. My way makes me unique among the other fine record sellers on eBay today. This policy change is the first significant one I’ve made since I first began selling records on eBay over 13 years ago. Some reasons for the change are:

• I clean every record I sell.  I use proprietary methods which are safe and effective and leave your records as clean as possible. I even clean and repair outer sleeves (and sometimes inner sleeves as well!) should they have some reparable damage (e.g., an open seam, surface grime, and the like).
• I inspect and play-grade every record I sell, except for still-sealed records. (See my grading scale, below). 
• I craft my own heavy-duty mailers, not only to save you money, but to protect your investment as it wings its way to you.
• I ship your purchases usually within 24 hours of receiving your payment. 
• I offer a no-quibble money-back guarantee should you feel I have exaggerated your record’s condition. Just send it back to me in the shape in which you found it, and I’ll refund your purchase price, including your initial shipping cost. If you prefer to keep the record, I will issue you a partial refund (or credit for a future purchase).

     NOTE: If you feel the above reasons do not warrant paying a little more for the same item elsewhere, then perhaps Craig Chase Vinyl is not for you. If, however, you are willing to pay a bit more, then welcome aboard (or welcome back). Make me a “favorite seller” and come back again and again. I’ll be happy to serve you.

Shipping

• Shipping is basically at my cost, which then becomes your cost. I charge by your package’s weight. The first single record (plus container) weighs 1 pound, 2 ounces. Each additional record weighs 10 ounces. Obviously, box-sets will weigh a little bit more.
• Default domestic shipping is by Media Mail without insurance. If you desire first-class shipping and/or insurance, please let me know prior to paying, and I’ll adjust your invoice accordingly.
• Normal International shipping is by First-Class Mail International, including  delivery confirmation, which adds only a few dollars to the shipping price and allows both you and me to know whether a package is still in transit or has been delivered.

Record Play-Grades

SS      =  Still sealed; unopened and un-played; condition unknown.

NM+  =  Near Mint Plus. Extraordinarily clean, quiet, and virtually unmarked, except perhaps for a very light spindle track on the label; may not have been played.

NM    =  Near Mint. Clean and quiet, regardless of scuffs, hairline scratches or apparent , defects.

NM-  =  Near Mint Minus. Less quiet than NM, with a bit more background noise, regardless of its  source.

VG++ =Very good plus plus. Noisier than NM-; may say why.

VG+  = Very good plus. Noisier than VG++; will say why.

Sleeve Grades

Exc    =   Excellent. Virtually perfect; may be shrink-wrapped or not; looks almost new.

Exc- =  Excellent minus. No major defects; clean, sound, and mark-free; perhaps a slightly bent corner or two.

VG + =  Very Good Plus. May have a couple small defects, such as a little writing or a little staining or yellowing, but it's quite presentable.

VG     = Very Good. Defects are more noticeable; may have needed seam repair.

G       =  Good. Sleeve has some obvious challenges but is still somewhat presentable.

F       =  Fair. Need I say more?
