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 APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDES ARE VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDES ARE VERY WHITE AND HAVE NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN.

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLES AT ALL

THE VINYL

THREE OF THE FOUR SIDES ARE ABSOLUTELY MINT!! IN DAY LIGHT THAY ARE FLAWLESS, AND UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THAY ARE ALSO FLAWLESS

SIDE THREE HAS SOME HANDLING LINES VISIBLE UNDER SPOTLIGHTS

THE TEST PLAY

ONE OF THE FRUSTRATIONS WITH THIS ALBUM IS THAT IT IS OFTEN FOUND TO LOOK PERFECT, BUT AS SOON AS THE STYLUS HITS THE VINYL A DISTORTION TO THE RECORDED SOUND IS HEARD USUALLY THROUGH JUST ONE SPEAKER. I HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE TIMES I HAVE FOUND WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE A GREAT SET ONLY TO BE LET DOWN WHEN PLAYING IT.

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A TOTALLY DISTORTION FREE PAIR OF VINYLS. NOT ONE JOT OF GROOVE WEAR ANYWHERE AT ALL, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS THEREFORE CRISP AND CLEAR AND PERFORMS LIKE A TRUE FIRST PRESS SHOULD

I CANNOT BEGIN TO STAE HOW AMAZING THIS ALBUM SOUNDS, BUT YOU CAN HEAR IT IN ALL IT'S GLORY

THE RUN IN IS SILENT ON EACH DISC AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES

SIDES 1,2 AND 4 ARE JUST INCREDIBLE

SIDE THREE AS MENTIONED HAS A FEW HANDLING LINES AND THESE CUSE A FEW SOUND ISSUES ON THE FIRST THREE TRACKS

Track one - Birthday has four little tics just as the track is ending

Track Two Yer Blues has three very light tics at the start and  three more right at the end into the linking groove.

Track three - Mother Nature's Son had a couple of clicks and three little tics at the start

 after this the rest of the side plays to perfection

SO I WOULD GRADE THIS AS FOLLOWS

SIDES 1,2 AND 4 - MINT MINUS

SIDE THREE - EX+

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. IT IS WORTH TAKING A LISTEN TO IT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN TRASHED SLEEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT COVER

IT IS STILL VERY VERY GLOSSY AND NOT DULLED LIKE MANY

NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE BOTTOM LEFT TIP AND A MINUSCULE BIT OF BROWNING

THE EMBOSSED BEATLES LOGO HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE FIRMLY AFFIXED TO IT, NO PEEL OR FLAKE

THE COLOUR IS STILL VERY CREAMY WHITE

THE TWO SIDE EDGES ARE PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE RUB AT THE RIGHT CORNERS

THE TOP OPENING EDGES ARE STILL VERY SHARP WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPECKS OF FEATHERING

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LAMINATE  INCREDIBLY HAS REMAINED FLAKE FREE

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GLEAMING AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT, NO LAMINATE LINES ANYWHERE. THAT TINY SPECK OF BROWNING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER PANELS, WHICH ARE ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO DAMAGE TO THE FLIPBACKS

THE BLACK TWO INNER SLEEVES ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. VERY UNUSUALLY THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS, NO NICKS OR TEARS TO THE DIE CUT HOLE AND MOST OF ALL NO CREASES OR FOLD LINES

THE ORIGINAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE POSTER IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES. NO CREASES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

THE 4 PHOTOS ARE ALSO INCLUDED AND ARE ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. THESE ARE ALSO THE CORRECT HEAVY PAPER 1ST ISSUES, NOT THE LATER FLIMSY ONES

A TOP GRADE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND IT WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AND ITS CONTENTS AS NEAR MINT

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