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 BUFF COLOURED UA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BROWN TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST A FEW REALLY TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND LOOKS SUPERB AND MARK FREE . UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I CAN SEE ARE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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 PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE.
THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.
ON SIDE TWO DURING THE STRUMMING GUITAT INTRO TO ' WE TOOK THE WRONG STEP' THERE ARE EIGHT ROTATIONAL TICS
THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES ON THE WHOLE LP
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION NEAR MINT / EX+
THE SLEEVE
WELL THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST FRAGILE OF ALL ALBUM SLEEVES EVER. NOT ONLY WAS THIS SLEEVE MADE OF THE FLIMSIEST CARD, IT IS UNLAMINATED WITH A POWDERY BLACK SURFACE, AND TO TOP IT OFF LIGHTNING BOLT SHAPED SPLIT FRONT SURFACE WHICH FOLDS TOGETHER AND TUCKS IN USING A FLAP. THIS FRONT SURFACE WAS A UNIQUE IDEA .
THE BOTTOM SECTION OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LIGHTENING BOLT USUALLY HAS TORN OR VERY BADLY CREASED, BUT ON THIS COPY IT HAS JUST RECEIVED A COUPLE OF TINY LINES.
SO THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE BLACK SURFACE IS UNRUBBED AND RICH AND VIBRANT. THE TUCK IN FLAP IS AMAZINGLY IN PRISTINE CONDITION, AND THE BOTTOM OF THE LIGHTNING BOLT HAS ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY SURFACE LINES ON IT.
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST EITHER OF THE TWO SPINE EDGES (LEFT AND RIGHT)
THERE IS A SMALL DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER WHERE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PRESSURE LINES
THE ZIG ZAG DIE CUT ON THE RIGHT HALF IS IN MINT CONDITION
THE LEFT SIDE HAS A TINY CREASE ON THE TIP OF THE SECOND AND LAST POINTS
THE LEFT SPINE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP
THE RIGHT SPINE HAS NO TEXT, JUST A BLACK SURFACE WITH A DOT OF RUB ON EACH TIP END
THE TOP EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE
THE REAR SURFACE ONLY SHOWS A LITTLE RUB ON THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS AND THAT TINY DING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP AT THE BOTTOM
OPENING THE FRONT FLAPS REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SECTION PICTURE OF THE BANMD MEMBERS
FURTHER OPENING OF THE ENTIRE COVER REVEALS A PRISTINE LYRIC FOLD OUTS
THE LOG BOOK IS ALSO IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
