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

REGULAR VISITORS TO OUT SITE WILL BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE BEEN LISTING A COLLECTION OF MINT RECORDS, WHICH WE OBTAINED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.  WHAT YOU WILL NOT BE AWARE OF IT THAT AMONGST THIS COLLECTION WERE A BATCH OF 60'S LP THAT ARE IN THE SAME EXCITING CONDITION. 
UNLIKE THE LATER 70'S AND 80'S RECORDS IN THIS COLLECTION, THE 60'S RECORDS HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS. 
HOWEVER BECAUSE THE 60'S VINYL WAS FAR MORE FORGIVING, THEY SOUND EVERY BIT AS PERFECT AS THE LATER PRESSINGS WE HAVE BEEN OFFERING
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO NOW FINALLY LIST SOME OF THESE CLASSIC ALBUMS FROM THE 60'S ALONG WITH THE COMPLETE RECORDING OF EACH RECORD, SO THAT WHEN WE SAY MINT, YOU ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM IT BY TAKING A LISTEN
SOME ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR SIMON AND GARFUNKEL ALBUMS COMING YOUR WAY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS

THIS LP IS IN THE MOST STUNNING CONDITION POSSIBLE, AND IT'S ALL GENUINE FIST PRESS. STARTING WITH THE SLEEVE, ONLY THE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVES WERE MADE BY DAWSON ROSSITER LTD, OF LONDON,AND ONLY THESE SLEEVES HAD THE FLIPBACKS. IT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE CHARTS ON IT'S INITIAL RELEASE, AND WAS ONLY SUBSEQUENTLY A HIT WHEN REISSUED. THUS MAKING A GENIUINE 1ST PRESS VERY RARE INDEED.

ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT THE LP STATES 1966 ON THE LABEL, BUT THIS WAS THE US RELEASE DATE. IN THE UK IT WASN'T ISSUED UNTIL 1967

THIS IS ALSO THE MONO PRESS. NO 1/3RD ON THE LABEL JUST 33

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

CBS ORANGE TEXTURED LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE,THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 55 YEAR OLD ALBUM

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST A FEW TINY SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT AND IS MADE OF THE VERY HEAVY VINYL THAT MOST LATE 60'S RECORDINGS WERE PRESSED ON.

IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLES IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN ONE ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIRLINE WHICH IS TOTALLY NON SOUNDING

THE TEST PLAY

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION

I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE INCREDIBLE MONO SOUND THIS RECORDING PRODUCES AND ALL OF THIS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC.

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC MINT MINUS

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER

THE SLEEVE

DAWSON ROSSITER LTD LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, UNLAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES TO THE LAMINATE OR ANY BENDS. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION

THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER.

THE LAMINATE ITSELF IS FREE FROM AMY PEELING OR FLAKING

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT . IT IS 100% UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. AGAIN PERFECT LAMINATE ALL THE WAY ALONG

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS ALMOST NEW, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE FRAGILE POROUS WHITE CARD SURFACE WHICH USUALLY WEARS BADLY AND STAINS EASILY, BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS RETAINED  ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WHITE SURFACE AND IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING. THE FLIPBACKS ARE JUST PERFECT. GLEAMING WHITE AND  PROPERLY ADHERED. JUST A SHADOW OF AGEING TO THE OPENING EDGE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE  MINT MINUS IT IS QUITE ASTONISHING
