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 LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT, THE BASE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.  THERE IS 1-2 MICROSCOPIC  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. 

THE VINYL

THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I SEE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME DULL FLECKS EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL



 THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS.

NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES. PLUS A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES (NOT MANY OF THOSE!)

OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE A FEW TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS  RANDOMLY HEARD

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EX++ FOR THE AUDIO
