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

FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED PRIOR TO LISTING SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLES AT ALL

THE RECORD

THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE VINYL AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS LP LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS SAT UNTOUCHED FOR ALL THESE YEARS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

IT IS A MAGNIFICENT FIRST PRESS REPRODUCTION FREE FROM ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO LOUD CLICKS . NO DUST POPS OR EVEN ANY STATIC TICS

SILENT LINKING GROOVES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF INSIGNIFICANT TINY SPECKS OF STATIC IN A COUPLE

WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO GRADE THIS LP SOUND PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS UNLAMINATED SLEEVE HAS ON VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THREE MAJOR FAULTS

1. DIRTY GRUBBY SURFACE
2. SEVERE RING WEAR
3. SPLITS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER SLEEVE

THIS COPY IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER WANT

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE IS NO GRUBBINESS OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE OTHER THAN ONE SMALL MARK NEAR THE SPINE. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS 

OBVIOUS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. ALL 4 CORNERS ARE PERFECT, AND THE RING WEAR THAT USUALLY BLIGHTS THIS COVER IS TOTALLY ABSENT

THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED

THERE ARE TWO NEAR INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ON THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW.THE TOP EDGE ALSO HAS THE SAME TYPEFACE AS THE SPINE AND IT'S ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT AND SQUARE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. LIKE THE FRONT NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE THIS GOOD. THERE IS NO SEAM SPLITS WHICH IS VERY USUAL ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE PARTICULARLY. THERE IS A LITTLE SCUFF THERE BUT IT HAS NOT SPLIT THE CARD

THERE IS A LITTLE AGEING TO THE EDGES

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

THIS IS A SUPERB COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS MAGNIFICENT ALBUM, AND WILL NOT NEED UPGRADING

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