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.  WHAT YOU WILL NOT BE AWARE OF IT THAT AMONGST THIS COLLECTION WERE A BATCH OF 60'S LP THAT ARE IN THE SAME EXCITING CONDITION. 
UNLIKE THE LATER 70'S AND 80'S RECORDS IN THIS COLLECTION, THE 60'S RECORDS HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS. 
HOWEVER BECAUSE THE 60'S VINYL WAS FAR MORE FORGIVING, THEY SOUND EVERY BIT AS PERFECT AS THE LATER PRESSINGS WE HAVE BEEN OFFERING
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO NOW FINALLY LIST SOME OF THESE CLASSIC ALBUMS FROM THE 60'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
A VERY RARE BLUES ALBUM OFFERED TODAY


FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED PRIOR TO LISTING

 THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE WHITENESS OF THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS, OR SIGNS OF HANDLING, JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A RECORD THAT HASN'T HAD MORE THAN A COUPLE OF PLAYS. THE BLUE LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AND SOME RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS INSIDE THE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING PRISTINE VINYL. HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH TO IT, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE DISC, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN ONE WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY


ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AUDIO PERFORMANCE

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS, AND THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD INSIGNIFICANT SPECK OF STATIC EITHER WITH THE LINKING GROOVES BEING  SILENT

I HEARD NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS ANYWHERE

THIS REALLY IS A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE ALBUM 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS  FOR THE AUDIO AND VISUALLY

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

 

  

THE SLEEVE

 

A NON LAMINATED MATTE E.J.DAY AND CO SINGLE SLEEVE

THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL ON ANY  PART OF THE FRONT, WHERE THE COLOUR REMAINS RICH AND VIBRANT

 THE SURFACE IS REALLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM MARKS OR STAINS

NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER TO THE DEEP RICH COLOURS

THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS A SMALL DING

THE TOP EDGE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING ACROSS BOTH SURFACES . JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALSO IN REALLY GREAT SHAPE WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY FLECKS OF WHITE SHOWING

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. PERFECT COLOURS WITH ONLY A DOT OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TATPERED TIP ENDS. PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A DEEP RICH BLACK SURFACE

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS  UNSPLIT, UNCREASED, AND PERFECTLY FLAT. SOME AGEING TO ONE EDGE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT 

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