JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
SUITES for VIOLINCELLO, No. 3 in C major (BWV 1009) & No. 4 in E flat major (BWV 1010)
PIERRE FOURNIER (cello)
DGG ARCHIVE PRODUCTION - 14187 (mono)
Wonderful music and highly praised and sought after performances. It has been said that this mono record is more rare than the stereo version and indeed sounds better in mono - there is certainly an immediacy and presence when listening to this record that is often not there in listening to many stereo recordings.
The record has an excellent bright sheen and appears to have been played very little indeed. The single time I played it, it played faultlessly, with a silent background, brilliant sound and no repeated ticks or clicks.
The picture gives a good impression of the sleeve (3 page, fold over type) which is in remarkable condition given its age - it has some light marks, ring wear and general discoloration/creasing, typical for a record sleeve of this type and age.
The silver background printing on the record label has worn away in places and looks a little patchy, probably due to it being stored, unplayed in the polythene inner for a great number of years.
The disc and cover are visually graded NM/EX, 85/78 (see below).
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description and grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.
Bid with confidence - Low starting Price and no Reserve

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no records are perfect)
80-89% Near Mint, almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
The information is provided for the record first, and then for the cover or box, for example you will find NM/NM in the notes on each record followed by, for example, 85/85. This means 85% both for the record and for the cover.
Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light where practical to clearly shows any marks.
*This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
