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

THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES ON THE SURFACE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR CLEAR AND CLEAN SOUND THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES NO HEVAY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES SOME RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH THE AUDIO GRADES EX+
THE SLEEVE
HOW OFTEN IS A GREAT VINYL LET DOWN BY THE SLEEVE, AND NON MORESO THAN ZEPPELIN 2, WHERE IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A SLEEVE THAT MATCHES THE QUALITY OF A TOP ALBUM. HERE THEN IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS SLEEVE THAT YOU WILL COME ACCROSS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE REASON IS THAT THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVER FROM NEW
THE POWDERY BROWN SURFACE THAT USUALLY WEARS AND RUBS BADLY ON THIS SLEEVE IS PRISTINE AND UNWORN.EVEN DOWN TO THE PERIMIETR EDGES WHERE IT ALWAYS RUBS, THIS ONE IS UNIFORM ALL THE WAY ACROSS AND DOWN.
ALSO THE WHITE AREA IS ALWAYS FOUND WITH SEVERE GRUBBINESS AND DIRT, WELL AGAIN HERE IS ONE THAT IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS NEW. AGAIN THIS IS VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF AND ALWAYS HAS FINGERMARKS AT BEST, BUT NOT IF IT WAS HOUSED FROM NEW AND PROTECTED FROM ALL ELEMENTS OF WEAR LIKE THIS ONE.
THERE ARE 3 NEAR INVISIBLE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM.
BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED IT, EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 95% UNRUBBED. JUST A PIN PRICK ON THE TOP FRONT RIGHT CORNER TIP END, AND ASMALL SLIVER ON THE REAR BOTTOM CORNERS
THE SPINE ON THIS SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND BATTERED, RUBBED, SQUASHED, AND WORN OUT, BUT ON THIS SLEEVE YOU HAVE A SPINE THAT IS NEAR PERFECT FIRSTLY AND INCREDIBLY THE SPINE IS FLAT AND NOT PUSHED OVER LIKE MOST ARE. THERE IS ONE LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHE, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED APART FROM THE VERY AND TINIEST TIPS TOP AND BOTTOM. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. B
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP,AND INCREDIBLY DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS, DEMONSTRATING JUST HOW LITTLE THE VINYL HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT HAS EVERY SINGLE SPECK OF THE BROWN SURFACE INTACT. IT'S ALSO WORTH MENTIONING THAT NEITHER THE FRONT OR THE BACK HAS ANY SIGN OF RING WEAR, JUST THE VERY SLIGHTES SPECK OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE REAR
THERE IS ONE LIGHT THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.HAS 'THE LEMON SONG' ON THE TRACK LISTING, AND PETER GRANT AS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED, WITH THE FLIPBACKS AND POLY LINED INTERIOR.
