Description
GG-SUPERSOUNDS HAVE MANY VARIED ALBUMS AND SINGLES FOR SALE
There Are two Business partners listing on this account, which may mean that combining purchases may not always be possible as we are in two different locations separated by 25 miles
Generally all singles 7 & 12” Plus LP’s listed at 6pm UK time (usually 2 per day) come from Bognor Regis
The rest of the LP’s come from Horsham. These can usually be identified from the first picture which shows the whole LP and not just the label
If you are in any doubt please ask before you bid
We do meet up on occasion and it is possible to get different batches together but this can take 2-3 weeks

THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP SET HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS,
AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF FINE SURFACE HAIRLINES
A NEAR PRISTINE ONE PLAY RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB.
THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS.
THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY STATIC. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY DUST POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS AS MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS
THE COLOURS ARE NEAR PERFECT WITH THE TINIEST AND ALSMOST INVISIBLE TRACE OF RING RUB JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THERE ARE NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE,OF WHICH ONE IS LONG AND RUNS OVER THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND THE COLOUR RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS STILL FLAT AND UNSQUASHED . ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE . THE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR THE SAME AS THE FRONT AND A THIN CREASE LINE RUNNING DOWN THE LEFT SIDE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+
