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
REGULAR VISITORS TO OUT SITE WILL BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE BEEN LISTING A COLLECTION OF MINT RECORDS, WHICH WE OBTAINED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. WHAT YOU WILL NOT BE AWARE OF IT THAT AMONGST THIS COLLECTION WERE A BATCH OF 60'S LP THAT ARE IN THE SAME EXCITING CONDITION.
UNLIKE THE LATER 70'S AND 80'S RECORDS IN THIS COLLECTION, THE 60'S RECORDS HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS.
HOWEVER BECAUSE THE 60'S VINYL WAS FAR MORE FORGIVING, THEY SOUND EVERY BIT AS PERFECT AS THE LATER PRESSINGS WE HAVE BEEN OFFERING
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO NOW FINALLY LIST SOME OF THESE CLASSIC ALBUMS FROM THE 60'S ALONG WITH THE COMPLETE RECORDING OF EACH RECORD, SO THAT WHEN WE SAY MINT, YOU ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM IT BY TAKING A LISTEN
A SUPERB FINAL UPGRADE E.L.O ALBUM
FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED PRIOR TO LISTING

THIS IS THE VERY RARE 1ST PRESS ELO- THIRD DAY. VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY YOU SEE WITLL BE THE WHITE SLEEVE'S JET LP ISSUE, BUT HERE WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS WITH THE EQUALLY RARE DIE CUT TRI-FOLD SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BURBANK PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . WHEN VIEWED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PERFECT
A MINT LOOKING RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, BUT ONLY IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES, NEVER DURING ANY TRACK
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
VERY RARE 1ST ISSUE SEABROOK GRAVES ASLETT DESIGN DIE CUT TRIFOLD SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND THE DIE CUT SQUARE IS PERFECT. NO ROUGH OR TORN EDGES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS,
THE BROWN SURFACE HAS REMAINED TOTALLY UNRUBBED. THIS IS VERY SCARCE AS MOST YOU WILL SEE HAVE HEAVY GREYING TO THE BROWN SURFACE DUE TO BEING PRESSED AGAINST OTHER RECORDS
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE ALSO ONE SMALL ONE ON THE RIGHT EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VERY BROWN WITH ONLY A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP AND A FEW WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE LEFT SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED . THE BROWN SURFACE HASTWO MINUSCULE WHITE FLECKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND A TINY DOT OF RUB TO EACH TIP END. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE RIGHT SPINE JUST HAS THREE SMALL WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE'S BROWN COLOUR HAS ALSO BEEN RETAINED PERFECTLY AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THERE ARE TWO SMALL LINES ON EACH OF THE PERIMETER EDGES AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNERS
OPENING THE TRIFOLD REVEALS THREE TOTALLY PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE DIE CUT WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT WITH JUST A SMALL CREASE LINE ON THE BOTTOM CORNERS
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
