J.-S. BACH : SONATAS AND PARTITAS FOR SOLO VIOLIN

GREAT SCARCE BOX WITH EXTRA SOUND,
PLEASE SEE BELOW OUR PLAYGRADING FOR FEW PROBLEMS :
THESE RECORDS ARE NOT PERFECT BUT STILL VERY ENJOYABLE.
PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU EXPECT AN EX BOX.
NO RESERVE !

BOX CONDITION G+ ( Front is nice and clean except some usual blemishing spots from age, spots of wear on borders and corners, one corner has a tiny tear ; the spine visible on a shelve has its colour faded, lettering has lost most of its gold ; hinges are rubbed, with little splits - one inch or less - on top and bottom ; the box still looks good & solid ; the cardboard inner sleeves have some light pre-foxing spots and some writings ; leaflet has a tiny tear, no loss ; protection paper sleeves have few splits. ).

RECORD CONDITION : VG, global grading, except 10 disturbing cracks, not too loud, on one track, overwise few little problems decribed below. Records have been played from 10 to more than 60 times ( the single previous owner did wrote it on inner sleeves ! ). Nice vinyl, paper scuffs, tiny hair-scratches & marks.

Playgraded as follows.
122-A : the most listened side, light greying of the groove on few rev. on 3 places, not specially sounding, light frying background ( last minute more present and ticky ), some odd ticks and few light or average cracks.
122-B : light ticks on entry, few random elsewhere, quiet, tiny marks not sounding.
123-A : light frying, random single light ticks, few soft single cracks, very tiny bubble = few gentle plops, single or double ticks repeating by places on allegro assai.
123-B : Quiet, random light ticks ( few from tiny marks on the Chaconne ), 2 very tiny bubbles = few gentle plops.
124-A : light ticks on beginning, 2 tiny marks on adagio = few light cracks, 3 others on largo = about 10 average-to-loud cracks + few light ones ending on allegro, the next and last track.
124-B : quiet side, light ticks, very rare single light cracks ( 2 from a tiny mark on 1st minuet ), very light groove greying on few rev., not sounding.
