GG-SUPERSOUNDS HAVE MANY VARIED ALBUMS AND SINGLES FOR SALE



There Are two Business partners listing on this account, which may mean that combining purchases may not always be possible as we are in two different locations separated by 25 miles

Generally all singles 7 & 12” Plus LP’s listed at 6pm UK time (usually 2 per day) come from Bognor Regis

The rest of the LP’s come from Horsham. These can usually be identified from the first picture which shows the whole LP and not just the label

If you are in any doubt please ask before you bid

We do meet up on occasion and it is possible to get different batches together but this can take 2-3 weeks

PLAYING THE RECORD

I HAVE PLAYED THE ENTIRE RECORD BEFORE LISTING

EACH NOTE IS REPRODUCED PERFECTLY AS YOU WOULD WANT FROM A FIRST PRESS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND OR LOUD CLICKS.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

AND THE ONLY LIGHT STATIC YOU WILL HEAR IS BETWEEN A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND A SPECK IN THE RUN IN

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO LITTLE DUST POPS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
