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

 MAGNIFICENT  NEAR MINT AUDIO

EX+ TEXTURED SLEEVE WITH LYRIC INSERT

UK 1ST PRESS -  PROBE LABEL

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PALE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED.

 THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS A VERY GLOSSY SHEEN TO IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE SOME VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

AN OUTSTANDING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM START TO FINISH

NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION

THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

THERE IS A LITTLE VERY OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF VERY TINY POPS OR TICS

I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS VERY CLOSE TO NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS AS IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT COUNTS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED TEXTURED MATTE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND SUPERBLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE COLOURS ARE ALL IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED

THERE IS A SMALL BLUE MARK ON THE SURFACE WHICH AT FIRST I THOUGHT WAS PART OF THE SLEEVE 

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A MINUSCULE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE

THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE. TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED . LIGHTLY AGED. HAS THE SPINE WORDING HERE AS WELL THERE IS A TINY PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL TO THE TOP. A LITTLE MORE RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT AND IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP. A VERY TINY BIT OF FEATHERING

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING OVER THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE LYRIC INSERT IS IN TOP CONDITION

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+

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