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

REGULAR VISITORS TO OUT SITE WILL BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE BEEN LISTING A COLLECTION OF MINT RECORDS, WHICH WE OBTAINED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.  THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE OFFEREING  THE SLEEVE IN MOST CASES ARE IN MINT CONDITION AND THE VINYL IN THE SAME INCREDIBLE STATE
IT IS JUST AN IMPOSSIBILTY (OR SO WE THOUGHT) TO FIND RECORDS OF THE CLASSIC ERA IN THIS SORT OF UNPLAYED / ONE PLAY CONDITION, WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH
I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO NOW FINALLY LIST SOME OF THESE CLASSIC ALBUMS FROM THE 60'S / 70'S ALONG WITH THE COMPLETE RECORDING OF EACH RECORD, SO THAT WHEN WE SAY MINT, YOU ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM IT BY TAKING A LISTEN
Today we have in addition to the ELO listing a classic pink island folk album by Fairport Convention So if you are looking for that Mint copy then this is where you will find it FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL PINK ISLAND LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS AND A COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AS IS THE BLACK BLOCK LOGO, AND THERE ARE ZERO  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE 

THE VINYL 

THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. AND LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT LOOKS MINT

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH REALLY MAGNIFICENTLY. THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AND A CRACKING DISTORTION AND CRACKLE FREE PERFORMANCE.

THOSE THAT KNOW EARLY ISLAND PRESSES WILL APPRECIATE THAT THERE IS USUALLY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE PRESS, BUT HERE THIS EXAMPLE HAS AVOIDED THAT COMPLETELY

SO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO DISTORTION

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO CLICKS TICS OR POPS

ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR MOST SILENT PASSAGE

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB PRESSING AND BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM THE E.J.DAY AND CO

THIS SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO FIND IN ANY SORT OF COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS MADE OF A POROUS UNLAMINATED LIGHT GREY FINISH, AND REALLY PRONE TO HEAVY MARKING AND HANDLING, BUT HERE IS ONE THAT IS IN SUPERB MINT MINUS CONDITION, WITH ALMOST NO IMPERFECTIONS WHATSOEVER

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES. 

THE GREY SURFACE HAS REMAINED MARK FREE. NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR. NO MARKS OR SIGNS OF HANDLING EITHER. A LITTLE AGEING TO THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEFT TIP END

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES SHOW NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. STILL VERY GREY ACROSS BOTH SURFACES NO WHITE FLECKS AND ALL OF THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PROPERLY LEGIBLE. THE GREY COLOUR HAS NOT FADED OR AGED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. A LITTLE VERY MILD LIGHT BROWNING OF THE OPENING EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS UNSPLIT BUT DOES HAVE AGEING TO ONE EDGE

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

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