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 RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BUFF COULOURED UA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BROWN TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE REALLY TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE,WHICH I HAD TO USE A MGNIFYING GLASS TO SEE, SHOWING THAT THE ALBUM HAS ONLY HAD THIS LIMITED PLAY LIFETIME. 

THE SPINDLE HOLE ACTUALLY HAS REMANANTS OF THE VINYL STILL INSIDE IT FROM THE PRESS THAT PRODUCED THIS DISC. 

THE VINYL

THIS IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS FIRST PRESS VINYL. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. 

WHEN ANGLED INTO SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE A FEW VERY FINE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND ONE LIGHT HANDLING LINE ON SIDE TWO 

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS LOUD AND AS CLEAR AS I HAVE EVER HEARD ANY ALBUM SOUND, AND NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT OR SILENT

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES ETC. 

A COUPLE OF RANDOM DUST POPS/ TICS

ONE OR TWO MOMENTS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES BUT TRULY NOTHING THAT WILL DETER FROM THE SUPERB SOUND GENERATED BY THIS VINYL

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD (SHIELD) SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.

DEEP RICH AND VIBRANT COLOURS THAT HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE

NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES HAVE SOME LIGHT SHELF RUB

THE BOTTOM EDGES SIMILAR, BUT MOST OF THE COLOUR IS PRESENT

THE SPINE IS JUST INCREDIBLE. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS. NO LINES JUST A SMALL SPECK OF RUB AT THE BOTTOM END

THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS LOVELY COLOURS WITH JUST A VERY MILD SHADOW OF RING WEAR UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE OPEN OUT SHIELD WHICH IS IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION. NONE OF THE HINGED SECTION ARE SHOWING ANY WEAR AT ALL AND MOVE PROPERLY

THERE IS A LITTLE RUB TO THE VERY BOTTOM SECTION ON BOTH SIDES

THE BROWN LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND WITH SPIT SEAMS. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS TOTALLY INTACT ALONG ALL THREE SEAMS AND THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO UNDAMAGED.NO WEAR WHATSOEVERE, AND NO CREASES EITHER

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+++

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER COPY OF THIS ANYWHERE

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