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 YELLOW TEXTURED LABELS ARE IMMACULATE

DEEP RICH AND VINBRANT COLOURS THAT FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE


THE VINYL

THIS VINYL HAS A DEEP HEAVY SHINE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS 

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PRISTINE


THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT MEANING WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH A CORRECTLY TRACKED, WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

I HEARD A FEW OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS OR TICS

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE VERY SILENT WITH JUST THE TINIEST SPECK OF NATURAL VINYL NOISE IN A FEW

AN OUTSTANDING FIRST PRESS, THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE
