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 SPIRAL LABELS ARE IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. THE SPIRAL SIDE IS IMMACULATE AND THE WHITE SIDE EVERY BIT AS GOOD. NO MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED. EVEN USING A MGNIFYING GLASS I CAN ONLY SEE ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT APPEARS FLAWLESS.

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PRISTINE

A MINT RECORD

THE TEST PLA

THE RECORD PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

CLEAN, CLEAR AND SUPERB

NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO TICS OR POPS

I GRADE THIS AS MINT

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

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED HOWARDS  MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. 

THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE DEPICTED BY THE VO PRICE CODE BOX AND CATALOGUE NUMBER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE REAR SURFACE.

THIS LIKE MANY NON LAMINATED SLEEVES WAS TERRIBLY PRONE TO SEVERE COLOUR LOSS AND I HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF THESE SLEEVES OF THIS TYPE THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT HAVE RUBBED BADLY. DUE WHOLLY TO THE FACT THAT THE COLOUR USED WAS A FINE POWDERY FINISH AND RUBBED AWAY ALMOST BY LOOKING AT IT. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS WAY BETTER THAN MOST

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN

THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT ACROSS THE SURFACE

THERE IS A TINY BIT OF RUB JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE

THERE  ARE FIVE ALMOST INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE COLOURS PRESSENT. A FEW TINY FLECKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOURS ARE ALL THERE WITH ONLY A FEW TINY PIN PRICKS OF RUB TO THE LEADING EDGES. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ON THE REAR WITH SOME  BURRING ON THE FRONT EDGE BECAUSE IT PROTRUDES EVER SO SLIGHTLY

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE EDGES, AND AT THE TOP THERE IS ABAND OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE RESIDUE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PERFECT INNERS, JUST A LITTLE AGEING TO THE WHITENESS

THE POLY LINED VERTIGO SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED WITH A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS. 

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX+

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