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

A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE

 THE RECORDS   

THE LABELS THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. 

SUPERB DEEP RICH COLOUR THAT FULLY RUNS INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH IS TOTALLY UNWORN.  

THERE IS JUST ONE  SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL 

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS.  

WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE SMALL PRESSING MARK AT THE END OF TRACK THREE SIDE FOUR. I HAD TO USE MY MAGNIFYING GLASS TO GET A REALLY CLEAR LOOK AT IT. I HAVE SHOWN IT IN THE PHOTO'S

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 PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED 

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT MEANING THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR CHIPPED STYLUS, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

 I HEARD JUST THE OCCASIONAL MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES 

ONE OR TWO RANDOM SPECKS IN SILENT PASSAGES

THE TINY PRESSING MARK CAUSES THREE DULL CLICKS RIGHT AT THE END OF THE PENULTIMATE TRACK ON SIDE TWO AS THE MUSIC FADES OUT MOSTLY DISGUISED BY THE MUSIC HOWEVER

WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH   NEAR MINT    IT IS THAT GOOD 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS     

THE SLEEVE    

The first press sleeve has Basing Street address on rear under Island logo. Island Records moved from Basing Street to 22 St Peters Square in 1973. Later versions of the Zippo sleeve do not have address on them.

ZIPPO LIGHTER SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION 

IT IS THE FIRST ISSUE WITH BASING STREET AT THE BOTTOM ON THE REAR

FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE ZIPPO OPENING RIVET IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.  

THE TOP OPENS EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD AND THE RIVET IS IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION 

THE INKS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY SERIOUS RUBBING, JUST A FEW LIGHT FLECKS ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE 

THE ROUNDED CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SMOOTH AND DO NOT HAVE ANY DAMGE 

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE

NONE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NONEON THE RIGHT EDGE OPENING 

THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN FACT

THE ZIPPO REVEALS A PERFECT TOP INNER SURFACE. NO BURRING TO THE OUTER RIM 

THE OUTER EDGES OF THE SLEEVE ARE MOSTLY FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST THE ODD TINY FLECK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION, AS GOOD AS IT GETS

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE  MINT MINUS

THIS SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT BITS OF RUB

I DON'T THINK THERE CAN BE A TIGHTER AND BETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE
