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 SWIRL LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE BLACK AREAS ARE STILL PURE BLACK.
THE WHITE SIDE IS PURE BRILLIANT WHITE
NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE LABEL.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
YOU CAN TELL THAT IT IS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW THE RECORD STILL GLEAMS. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE EITHER, AND IT IS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT,AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO SPOTLIGHT THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
SUPERB RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.
IT'S INCREDIBLE WHEN YOU THINK HOW MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ON ANY PROG ALBUM THERE ARE THAT THERE CAN BE NO BACKGROUND, BUT HERE WE HAVE A TRULY MAGNIFICENT COPY OF THIS ALBUM IN EVERY WAY
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR ANY LOUD CLICKS, AND INCREDIBLY FOR A VERTIGO PRESSING OF THIS YEAR, NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
A FEW SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS ONLY ON SIDE ONE, SIDE TWO HAVING NONE
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB VINYL NEAR MINT / MINT MINUS
I DONT BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER COPY OUT THERE
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD
THE FRONT SURFACE ON THIS SLEEVE HAS REMAINED IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION . THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.

NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND JUST TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
INCREDIBLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE OF ANY RUBBING APART FROM A TINY SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINE IS ALSO INTOP CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE BEING INTACT AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF LEADING EDGE RUB.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP, AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICKS
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY MINT!! INNER PANELS
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE AGAIN WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT
THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS INSUPER CONDITION. UNSPLIT. STILL VERY FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT WRINKLES AND SOME GLUE AGEING
I AM VERY PLEASED TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
