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 RECORD
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 SHOWS JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS STILL VERY GLOSSY AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THE VINYL SHOWS ONLY SOME LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW SMALL HANDLING LINES
THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THIS SUPERB FIRST PRESS IS THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST INCREDIBLE.
THE CUT IS LOUD AND THE VOCALS ARE CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL, WHILST THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTATION COMES THROUGH WITH CLARITY
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON THIS PLAYTHROUGH
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS SOME LIGHT LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE QUIETER PASSAGES AND SOME TINY DUST POP LIKE STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EX+
PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
