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 TEST PLAY

THIS LP HAS SO MANY QUIET ORCHESTRAL PASSAGES, THAT ANY UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISE IS VERY NOTICABLE

FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE MONO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

ABSOLUTELY NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

YOU WILL HEAR LIGHT AND LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE QUIETER PASSAGES OF MUSIC

THERE ARE NO DUST POPS HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH JUST A FEW  MINUSCULE LITTLE STATIC TICS 

IT IS WORTH HAVING A LISTEN TO JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS EX
