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 APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT  CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDE IS VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAS LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN,

THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS REALLY SPOTLESS. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS .  EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN AND A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE DULL SPOTS

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES WITH A LITTLE NATURAL LOW LEVEL VINYL NOISE IN A FEW OF THEM

NO DUST POPS OR TICS OTHER THAN THREE SMALL ONES AT THE END OF TRACK TWO, SIDE TWO

AN IMMACULATE SOUND FROM START TO FINISH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS VINYL  NEAR MINT

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
