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 RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CLASSIC GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THIS LABEL CAN SUFFER FROM STAINING AND SHOWS ALL GREASY FINGERMARKS VERY EASILY. WHAT WE HAVE HERE THOUGH IT A PAIR OF LABELS THAT HAVE JUST NOT BEEN TOUCHED. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY 2-3 VERY TINY SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. THE SURFACE OF BOTH SIDES GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF HANDLING OR ANY UNWANTED MARKS. EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW MINISCULE WISPY LINES. THE VINYL IS JUST ABOUT AS PERFECT AS YOU COULD EVER WANT ON A NEAR 50 YEAR OLD ALBUM
THE TEST PLAY
WHAT IS VITAL ON ANY PINK FLOYD ALBUM IS THAT THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE AS THERE ARE MANY MANY QUIET OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES, THAT WOULD SHOW UP ANY CRACKLING AND SPOIL THE PERFORMANCE.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AT ALL ANYWHERE, MEANING THE LP WHEN IT WAS PLAYED WAS PLAYED ON A GOOD DECK WITH AN UNWORN STYLUS. THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS MAGNIFICENT. CLEAR AS A BELL, EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS PRODUCED TO BE HEARD.
I HEARD A VERY TINY BIT OF EXTREMELY LOW LEVEL VINYL NOISE IN SOME LINKING GROOVES AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO TICS OR POPS WHATSOEVER
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE TEXTURED SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
USUALLY FOUND IN VERY POOR CONDITION DUE TO THE FLIMSY NATURE OF THE CARD, AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO LAMINATE TO PROTECT IT FROM STAINING ETC.
HOWEVER WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS JUST ABOUT THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE COME ACROSS.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO CREASES, OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO RUB OR COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE CORNERS RE BEAUTIFULLY ROUNDED AND HAVE NO RUB
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE
NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE. FULLY COLOURED AND UNBLEMISHED CORNERS
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS PERFECT AND RAZOR SHARP. THERE ARE NO THUMB NICKS EITHER, WHICH JUST REALLY GOES TO SHOW THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT. THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO CREASES, STAINS, MARKS ETC, AND NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, AND MOST UNUSUALLY NO BROWNING.
THIS SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
