BACH ORGAN WORKS: WALCHA; ARCHIV 15 LP SET: MINT!!
Superb set of 15 LPs in two boxes covering the full spectrum of Bach’s works for organ, played by Helmut Walcha on the organ of St. Laurenskerk Alkmaar, and the Silbermann organ of the church of St. Pierre-le-Jeune, Strasbourg.
The 15 LPs are all in beautiful mint or near mint condition. I play checked a couple and they sound great with virtually silent surfaces. The inserts are also mint. The boxes are in superb condition. They have a textured surface and the spines are embossed in blue ink. They look as though they could have been made yesterday and will look very handsome indeed on the record shelf.
An Archiv Records catalogue is also included and can be seen in one of the photographs below.
I am happy to post this set abroad – it will be sent in two separate ‘Small Packets’ as each box is close to the 2kg limit (unless the bidder is buying other items too and prefers to ship one larger package – see below).
Postage
UK: £12.00
Europe: £22.00 (airmail)
Asia, USA: £45.00 (airmail); £25.00 (surface mail)
Items are securely packed records are placed in polythene sleeves, to protect from moisture, then inside special record mailing envelopes with two stiffeners for maximum protection. The envelopes are marked ‘fragile’.
I always minimise postage costs where possible, so please bid on multiple items with confidence – I will work out the best/cheapest way to send them. Sometimes it may be necessary to split packages if they add up to more than 2kg.
Items can be insured at extra cost. I usually include an insurance option on the invoice, in case you are worried that the item will be damaged in transit or get lost en route. Remember insured packages are treated with more care by the carrier, so even a cheap item may be worth insuring if it will be hard to find another one!
- In the UK, ‘Special Delivery’ is the safest option, and costs £4.00 to £8.00 depending on the weight of the package.
- For international items, prices for the ‘International Signed-For’ service start at £3.50, possibly more depending on the weight and destination.
Items may be returned, in the condition they were sent, for a full refund (not including postage) if not satisfactory. I will always be reasonable in dealing with any problems - please check my feedback and bid with confidence.
Methods of Payment
I accept paypal, cheque drawn on UK bank, and cash on delivery. Winning bidders are welcome to visit me at home (Hackney, in East London). I have a huge assortment of LPs for sale.
Guide to grading:
Mint: as new – might even be unplayed. Without blemish of any kind – no sounding or non-sounding marks, quiet surface, no groove damage, sleeve will be immaculate with sharp edges, and without creasing, writing, or difficult-to-remove stickers. I use this grading only rarely!
Near mint: virtually as new – at worst one or two small, very light non-sounding marks, or a few spindle marks. Definitely no audible marks – aurally, the LP should be superb with no groove damage and a quiet playing surface. It is possible the sleeve may have a few very tiny creases on the spine, or slight ‘browning’ – for details see individual listings.
Excellent: There may be some very light background surface noise, or a few surface marks. Again, there should be no audible marks unless specified in the listing. The sleeve may have very light creasing, or slight discolouration, but still be overall in very nice condition.
Very good: this LP will have audible imperfections such as scattered ticks, or an audible mark or marks. There are also likely to be visual imperfections such as light scuffs, or slight damage to the sleeve – e.g. break-through on the spine, or perhaps damage to the laminated surface of the sleeve. Again, please see individual listings for details.
Please note: The use of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign, e.g. "ex+" or "vg-", means slightly better or worse than the indicated grade.
