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
we will be listing some Led Zeppelin albums (One Per Day) which are in the same amazing condition as noted above 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 SLEEVE
IT IS VITUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE ANY SLEEVE AS MINT, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT DOWNGRADES ANY SLEEVE,BUT NOT ON THIS SLEEVE IT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
I CAN ONLY SAY THAT IT HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PROPER PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW, AND CANNOT HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT. THIS SLEEVE IS MADE OF A VERY POUROUS THICK GREY CARD, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT HANDLING SIGNS AT THE VERY LEAST ON THE SURFACE.AND STAINS USUALLY. YOU JUST DON'T GET A PERFECT CODA SLEEVE
THIS ONE HOWEVER IS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY
THE NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION NOW AS IT WAS THE DAY IT LEFT THE PRINTERS. THE FRONT SURFACE IS GREY WITH EMBOSSED GREEN LETTERING, AND IS FLAT AND CLEAN WITH ABSOLOUTELY NO MARKS TO IT WHATSOEVER. THE 4 CORNERS ARE SHARP TIPPED AND PERFECTLY SQUARE. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, DENTS, OR EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LINES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE.
TOP EDGE EDGES HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF WHITE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NONE AND ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT, FREE FROM SQUASHING ANDTOTALLY UNRUBBED
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS MINT AS THE FRONT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS ALSO MINT.
THE INNER SEEVE IS ALSO IN UNBELIEVEABLE CONDITION. AGAIN PURE GREY, BUT OF COUSE HOUSING THE RECORD IS PRONE TO SPLITS AND RECORD SHAPE. THIS HAS NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH IT. THE DELICATE POROUS SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISH WHATSOEVER.
I HAVE NO HESITATION AT ALL IN GRADING THIS INCREDIBLE SLEEVE, MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
