BACH: UNACCOMPANIED VIOLIN SONATAS VOLUME THREE: No. 5 in C major and No.6 in E major (PARTIDA No.3)

Columbia UK original LP, cat # 33CX 1288 - JOHANNA MARTZY

Item sold as pictured (please see photos) and as described below.

Grading is conservative.

The cover grades as Poor since there are numerous flaws. These include: creasing, scratches, dirt, stains,

markings, edge wear, corner wear, wear to the opening ('feathering'). There is sticker residue on the rear of the cover. 

The biggest problem with the cover is that there is noticeable wear and damage to the spine (please see

photographs). As a result, most of the lettering on the spine has been erased, and what's left of the spine is

paper-thin, so it's virtually a large seam split waiting to happen.

There is no writing on the cover. Despite being ragged and marked, the cover is still functional.

VINYL:

Visually: Side 2 looks cleaner than Side 1, which also has some scratches.

Audio grading: there is surface noise, mainly in the form of 'static' and crackle, which is present throughout on Side 1

and, to a lesser extent overall, on Side 2 - it is part of the listening experience - but, to my ears, the surface noise only

detracts from the enjoyment of the listening experience on the Adagio on Side 1, since the wear here 'competes' a bit too

much with the music. Given the above, I would grade the Adagio on Side 1 as Good only.

I would grade the remainder of Side 1, and the whole of Side 2, as Very Good Minus (VG-) and sometimes a little

better since, although more or less continuous wear is still present in the form of 'static' and 'crackle' and the

occasional 'click' here and there, one's ears adjust, and this does not override one's enjoyment of the music.

While this is a well played copy, it is NOT a "trashed" or abused copy. The record plays right through on both

sides without 'sticks', 'skips' or 'jumps'. Further, there is no distortion. Similarly, although there are occasional

'clicks' from time to time, there are no loud or distracting 'clicks' that I noticed.

Side 2 is a quieter listen overall than Side 1.

Not a copy for the fussy collector, but still playable and enjoyable despite a certain degree of wear that co-exists,

as detailed above, with the music.
