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

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS STILL IN SUPERB CONDITION. GLEAMING AND GLOSSY AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF ALMOST INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES

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 DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL'S AUDIO MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AS IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT COUNTS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED , ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE

THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE REASON BEING THAT THE DUSTY AND DELICATE BROWN SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND WORN AWAY AND RING WORN. THE GOLD LOGO IS ALSO USUALLY FOUND TERRIBLY RUBBED, AND THE WHOLE THING IS PRONE TO SEVERE CREASING

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPER CONDITION. 

THERE IS NO LOSS OF THE BROWN SURFACE WHATSOEVER. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR EITHER NOR IS THERE ANY SIGN OF RECORD SHAPE OTHER THAN A TINY SPECK UNDER THE TOP EDGE

NO COLOUR LOSS EITHER. A REALLY STUNNING EXAMPLE.

THERE IS NO CREASING TO THE FRONT SURFACE, NO FOLDS OR BENDS ANDTHE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE, APART FROM A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL  PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE . TWO EQUALLY TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE LIGHT RUB TO THE CORNERS

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS STILL WHITE AND UNRUBBED, WITH THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP, WITH A TINBY BIT OF FEATHERING IN SMALL PATCHES

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT/ THE BROWN POWDERY SURFACE SHOWS THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE

INSIDE THE SLEEVE THE ORIGINAL LARGE POSTER / LYRIC SHEET IS HOUSED AND IN MINT CONDITION. SHARP CREASE LINES AND THE POSTER HAS CLEARLY NEVER BEEN NEAR A WALL

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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