Paul Tortelier - Bach: Six Suites Pour Violoncelle Seul 3LP
Rare original first French mono pressing on LVDSM, FALP 696-698, ED1.
Records: VG (I have partially play graded the records and the problematic portions of side 5 produce a minor episode of 20 ticks on band 2; otherwise a great sounding mono pressing; a few pronounced clicks at the beginning of side 3 and there is a rough patch, i.e. a cluster of marks causing some more disturbance on band 4, so this side is VG only, and accordingly, I have graded the whole set conservatively as VG; the remaining sides, judging from the appearance should play EX/NM)
Box: EX
Booklet/inner sleeves: NM
