CUSTOMER UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2022
For the past 2 years GG_Supersounds has been listing records that in the main are in Mint or very close to it condition. We continue to track down and list the very best records that we are able to for our ever growing customer base For those that have been with us over that period of time will know that there are two business partners listing on the site. One from Horsham and the other from Bognor Regis From time to time this has been confusing for our customers as there often 2 invoices to pay where purchases are made from different locations by one customer To rectify this we have decided that the Horsham location will continue to list on GG_Supersounds, whilst the Bognor Regis location will now list on GG-Superstuff.
IT WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE TO BUY FROM BOTH LOCATIONS AND HAVE COMBINED SHIPPING, BUT THIS WILL BE RELIANT OF THE TWO OF US MEETING UP, AND WILL THEREFORE USUALLY TAKE MORE TIME, BUT IT IS DO-ABLE
Nothing Else Changes - Still the same superb selection of the best records will be available



For the protection of all concerned we only send signed for and tracked and signed

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE PASTEL LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . FAULTLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN SPOTLIGHTS . ALL THAT IS VISIBLE ARE SOM FINE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

A COUPLE OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND SPECKS IN 2-3 OF THE LINKING GROOVES

TWO TINY DUST POPS HEARD DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO

PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LIGHTLY TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE STILL IN THE FCATORY SHRINKWRAP

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT.

THE SHRINKWRAP IS TIGHT ACROSS THE SURFACE AND IS ONLY SPLIT AT THE OPENING EDGE TO ALLOW THE LP TO SLIDE OUT

ONE TINY HOLE IN THE SHRINK WHERE I SUSEPCT A STICKER WAS REMOVED

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE MAGENTA COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. PERFECT COLOUR AND TEXT AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME PERFECT CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE GLOSSY CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, A PRISTINE THUMB NOTCH AND VERY CLEAN UNMARKED SURFACES

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
