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

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE  COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS, 

AND EVEN  UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES


 

PLAYING THE RECORD


THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. 

THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. 

THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. 

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, INDICATING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW RANDOM SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

A LITTLE BIT AS WELL AT THE START OF SIDE TWO

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY DUST POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH OF SIDE ONE, AND 3-4 DURING SIDE TWO

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS AS NEAR MINT / EX+   FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
