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 RECORD

THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT. WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS SOME NON SOUNDING EMBEDDED DULL DUSTINESS IN THE VINYL. I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW THIS IN THE PICTURES

DOES NOT AFFECT THE PLAY

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OG THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD JUST 2-3 TINY DUST TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE IS SO HARD TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION BECAUSE THE BLACK BORDER USUALLY RUBS BADLY AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE AND SPINE ARE USUALLY WORN THROUGH AS WELL. HERE HOWEVER IS A SPECTACULAR COPY TOTALLY PROTECTED FROM NEW  AND HAS REMAINED JUST PERFECT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED 

THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE  NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES EITHER NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER , AND THIS IS USUALLY A DISASTER AREA WHERE THE DELICATE BLACK IS WORN OFF, BUT THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,WITH THE GLOSSY BLACK SURFACE UNRUBBED AND IMPORTANTLY THE  THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING, OR RING WEAR. NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER FOR THAT MATTER.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS

THE  ORIGINAL PICTURE  INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT 

 IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS

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