Columbia 33CX 1656 - Bach - Suites for Unaccompanied Cello - Starker

Covers: VG+/EX-; 2 inch split upper seam, small split opening right lower corner, lower back flip seam right corner damaged, back cover 1 inch tear
Vinyl: Side 1: NM- / Side 2 EX+; 3 light cosmetic noticeable marks do not sound at all. 'Dead silent' surfaces, no rustle or groove noise - at least not with my mono set-up. Fully play graded - not a single tic or pop!

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, I consider (and recommend) this to the buyer. In my experience records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning

Payment: worldwide - PayPal

Due to an increasing amount of 'non-delivery' parcels over the last month, 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.
