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

A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE

• MATRIX: SHVL 781 A-1G/ B-1G

• MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1 MM / 2 AR

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE 2-3 SPIDER LINES 

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT. A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES ON THE LAST TRACK SIDE TWO AND THATS ALL I CAN SEE

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS SOUNDS. 

BEING A PINK FLOYD ALBUM THERE ARE MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ACROSS THE RECORD AND THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT,PLUS THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. 

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE ON ANY PART OF THIS ALBUM, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

I HEAR TWO TINY STATIC TICS AND BOTH OF THESE WERE IN THE RUN IN BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS. ONE ON EACH SIDE AND MAY BE JUST DUST

BECAUSE THE VINYL JUST PLAYS TO PERFECTION

THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE, BUT THATS ALL

A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE AND I GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS 

THE SLEEVE

 THIS SLEEVE IN MY OPINION IS THE HARDEST TO COLLECT OF ANY PINK FLOYD ALBUMS

HARDEST TO COLLECT IF YOU WANT A NEAR PRISTINE OR ABOVE EXAMPLE

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS ON OFFER ON EBAY AND YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN

THIS NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO OFFER UP

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND MOST SPECTAULAR OF ALL IS THAT THERE IS NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO ANY PART OF THE COVER

THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE SMALL PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

ANOTHER MIRACLE IS THAT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR, OR RUBBING AND THE COLOUR RUNS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FOUR SURFACES WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

YET ANOTHER IMPOSSIBILITY!! THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FULLY COLOURED. NO WEAR OR RUB AND THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM END HAVE NO RUB WHATSOEVER

THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP TO SHOW HOW LITTLE THE ALBUM HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS  SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT . AND HERE THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER PANELS, WHICH ARE UNLAMINATED AND IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMARKED CONDITION

THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION , NOT ONE CREASE LINE 

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
