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 ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONLY ONE VERY SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THIS VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE 

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.

A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRSIPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. 

PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE. 

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES ARE EXACTLY SILENT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO CRACKLE OF HISS WHATSOEVER

AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION AND PLAYS LIKE NEW, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN, AND SURPRISINGLY NONE OF THE POWDERY COLOURED SURFACE HAS BEEN LOST THROUGH RUBBING AND SHELF WEAR. 

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.

NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL 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 EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND BOTH CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME RUBBING TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE. THIS COPY HAS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE VERY BOTTOM  TIP HAS LIGHT WEAR.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST  ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRAGILE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT

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