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

ROLLING STONES - BEGGARS BANQUET

IN MAGNIFICENT ONE PLAY MINT!!!!  CONDITION

 1ST PRESS ON THE BOXED STEREO DECCA LABEL

THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO LIST A FIRST PRESS ON THE BOXED LABEL. VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE PRESSINGS ON THIS LATER LABEL HAVE THE MATRIX NUMBERS THAT END WITH 3K OR 4K. I HAVE SEEN ONE PREVIOUSLY THAT HAD 2K ON ONE SIDE AND 1K ON THE OTHER, BUT UNTILO TODAY NEVER SEEN ONE WITH THE 1K/1K MATRIX NUMBERS. IN FACT I DON'T EVEN THINK I HAVE EVER HAD OR SEEN AN UNBOXED PRESSING WITH 1K/1K NUMBERS

• CATALOGUE:DECCA SKL4955

• MATRIX:XZAL 8476-1K / 8477-1K

• MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1 BUC / 2 AU 

FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP BLUE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES

THE VINYL

A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT  DISC.IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, THERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE WISPIEST HAIRLINES VISIBLE

THE TEST PLAY

THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS 

NEXT THE RUN IN GROOVES TO BOTH OPENING TRACKS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE LINKING GROOVES BETWEEN THE TRACKS ARE THE SAME, AND EVEN THE RUN OUT GROOVE IS CLEAN AND CRACKLE FREE

THE RECORDING IS A VERY LOUD STEREO CUT AND IS REPRODUCED SUPERBLY.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.

NO TICS OR POPS ANYWHERE AND THE ONLY PICKY THING I COULD SAY IS THAT THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS GREAT ALBUM FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO  MINT MINUS 

IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST HIT THE PLAY BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE THING AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED OFF WHITE GATEFOLD FROM ROBERT STACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES ANYWHERE, 

NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE SEVEN PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EGDE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND UNBLEMISHED . TOTALLY SMOOTH ALL THE WAY ACROSS, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE IMMACULATE

THE SPINE IS FLAT HAVING ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY INTACT, BUT WITH A COUPLE OF THE PRESSURE LINES FROM THE FRONT RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASING AND BENDS.AND IS IN THE SAME  CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST FOUR TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING.

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE  WITH THE BLUE TEXT IS UNSPLIT  AND FREE FROM CREASING.

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

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