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 WE ALSO COMBINE SHIPPING

MADE IN JAPAN WAS RELEASED IN THE UK IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS 1972. RECORDED OVER 3 NIGHTS IN JAPAN DURING AUGUST OF THE SAME YEAR, THE ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY ONLY EVER INTENDED FOR THE JAPANESE MARKET, BECAUSE THEY HAD ASKED FOR ONE. LIVE ALBUMS WERE NOT YET A STAPLE DIET OF THE BRITISH PUBLIC AND THUS PURPLE SHOWED LITTLE INTEREST IN IT. INCREDIBLY THE ALBUM WAS ISSUED AS A BUDGET SET AT A COST OF ONLY £3.25 BECAUSE OF THIS VERY REASON, AND THE REST AS THEY SAY IS HISTORY.

THIS ALBUM WAS THE REASON THAT SO MANY BANDS THEREAFTER ISSUED LIVE DOUBLE ALBUMS, THIS IS THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL

THE PRICE FOR MOST SINGLE ALBUMS IN 1972 AVERAGED AROUND THE £4.00 MARK

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESS OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM, AND A GENUINE EMI COPY. EMI USED OTHER COMPANIES FROM TIME TO TIME TO PRODUCE THEIR ALBUMS WHEN THEY WERE OVERLOADED AND MADE IN JAPAN WAS ALSO SUBJECT TO THIS. A GENUINE EMI FIRST PRESS CAN BE SPOTTED VERY EASILY. FIRSTLY THE RIM WORDING MUST HAVE' THE GRAMOPHONE CO' AS LATER PRESSES STARTED 'EMI RECORDS'

SECONDLY THE VINYL IS HEAVIER ON A FIRST PRESS, AND LASTLY ON AN EMI FIRST PRESS THE 'MADE IN JAPAN' TEXT ON THE LABEL IS ALWAYS IN (BRACKETS). ON THE CBS CONTRACT PRESS IT IS NOT!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, THE PURPLE AREA BIEIN RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE WHITE 'P' BEING UNMARKED AND VERY WHITE.

BEING A FIRST PRESS THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' IS WORDED AROUND THE RIM. LATER PRESSES HAD 'EMI RECORDS' IN ITS PLACE

THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON DISC ONE, AND JUST TWO ON DISC TWO, TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE, AND IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER PREFERRED DISC ONE AS THIS APPEARS TO HAVE AHD A FEW MORE PLAYS

THE VINYL

REALLY HEAVY ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS DISCS, THAT HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHINE ABOUT THEM. IN DAYLIGHT THEY BOTH LOOK SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND MARK FREE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, DISC ONE HAS A FEW VERY WISPY HAIRLINES ON SIDE 2 WHICH DON'T SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND THE OTHER THREE SIDES HAVE JUST ABOUT NOTHING AT ALL, MAYBE A COUPLE FO WISPS ON EACH . A REALLY STUNNING COLLECTIBLE SET

HERE WE HAVE AN IMMACULATE PLAYTHOUGH OF THIS SUPERB DOUBLE ALBUM SET. THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE AUDIOWHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE SET HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. AND EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A LIVE RECORDING THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FIRST CLASS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD AS IT WAS INTENDED. CRISP AND CLEAN AT EVERY POINT

THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE THROUGH EITHER OF THE DISCS.

THERE IS A REALLY TINY SPECKLE OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AT THE START OF CHILD IN TIME

OUTSIDE OF THIS JUST A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS DURING THE REST OF THE FOUR SIDES 

AND JUST TWO OR THREE TINY TICS OR POPS

THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS AN ARCHIVE COPY OF ONE OF THE WORLDS BEST LIVE DOUBLE ALBUMS EVER RELEASED

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, SIT BACK AND TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED GATEFOLD IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IT HAS AN INCRDIBLE SHEEN TO IT AS I HOPE YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND HAS NO CREASING TO THE LAMINATE 

NO LIFT PEEL OR FLAKE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST THE USUAL SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION WHICH IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FLIMSY CARD USED IN THE MANUFACTURE

THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. FOUR TINY ONES ON THE TOP EDGE AND FOUR MORE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL APART FROM A FEW TINY PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP ENDS

THE SPINE HAS ONE TINY DEFECT RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THERE IS A DOT OF RUB ON THE VERY TIP. OTHER THAN THIS IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. NO LAMINATE LOSS WHATSOEVER. NO SQUASHING OF THE SPINE. THE LEADING EDGES ARE TOTALLY MINT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INTERIOR.

THE ORIGINAL  INNERS ARE ALL INTACT AND UNSPLIT

THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+

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