Description
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 LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. NOTHING ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
IN DAYLIGHT THE LP LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS . IT'S A THICK HEAVY OLD SCHOOL DECCA VINYL. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW ENBEDDED NON SOUNDING DULL SPECKLES VISIBLE
THE TEST PLAY
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.
ALSO NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS, OR POPS
IN ONE OR TWO OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES THERE IS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I HEARD NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
FOR ME THIS AUDIO GRADES MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED REAR MOORE AND MATHIS SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A VERY GLOSSY LAMINATE WITH JUST A SLIVER OF LIFT ALONG THE SPINE
THERE IS ALSO A SMALL TEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE JUST BELOW THE MIDDLE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS FIVE SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING ACROSS BOTH SURFACES. NO CHIPS OR BLEMISHES AND ONLY A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE LAMINATED TAPERED ENDED SPINE IS IN FLATT CONDITION. FULL LAMINATE, AND PRISTINE TYPEFACE. SOME RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE HAS MILD FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED MOST OF THE COLOUR WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND SOME FAINT WAVES OF GREYING ELSEWHERE
THE POLY LINED MONO DECCA INNER IIS IN TOP CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
