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

THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RAINBOW RIMMED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT SHOWS SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS NEAR PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS A LITTLE VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE ABCKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GTROOVES AND SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD TWO TINY TICS ON SIDE ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EX+
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
1ST ISSUE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED BACK WITH FLIPBACKS
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY
AND THE DELICATE COLOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND TOTALLY UN-RUBBED OR SHELFWORN.
NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE FIVE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN SUPERB UNRUBBED CONDITION. JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. PRISTINE TEXT AND UNBLEMISHED TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SLIGHTLY FEATHERED
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHRED FLIPBACKS AND A VERY CLEAN NON LAMINATED SURFACE, JUST A LITTLE HANDLING
THE INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED.
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX+
