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 ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP  CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THERE IS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BEEN HARDLY PLAYED OVER THE YEARS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS

PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT LOOKS SUPERB, ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE IN FACT

THE TEST PLAY

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

CRYSTAL CLEAR MONO SOUND FROM START TO FINISH

THERE ARE NO DUST POPS, NO STATIC TICS AT ANY POINT

ALL I HEARD WAS A MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A TINY BIT IN 'MICHELLE' WHICH IS  VERY USUAL

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP AND BE THE JUDGE OF IT'S QUALITY

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS TOP CONDITION

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.

THERE ARE SEVEN PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO TINY ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND FOUR SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND THE CORNERS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS MINT. FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH VERY MILD SPORADIC FEATHERING TO THE REAR SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY VERY RARE. AS MOST ARE HEAVILY SOILED. 

THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED. , THE ORIGINAL 32/- PRICE WRITTEN IN BIRO ON THE FLIPBACK. THIS WILL COME OFF, BUT I HAVE LEFT IT FOR PROSTERITY

THE ORIGINAL GREASEPROOF PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOTALLY UNSPLIT CONDITION, A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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