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 RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITE BAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. 

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 3-4SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING HOW LITTLE THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED.

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS  FLAWLESS . UNDER SPOTLIGHTS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THIS  RED AND PLUM ZEP 3 PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. 

THERE IS CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

JUST ONE TIC HEARD ON SIDE TWO TRACK THREE

THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO ON SIDE A AND THAT IS REALLY BEING PICKY

SIDE B HAS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN SOME LINING GROOVES AND IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

A STUNNING ZEPPELIN THREE AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS  AUDIO MINT MINUS / NEAR MINT

TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE THOUGH 

THE SLEEVE

THE ICONIC ZEP III SLEEVE IN A VERY COLLECTABLE CONDITION

THIS ORIGINAL ISSUE E.J.DAY AND CO LAMINATED SLEEVE ALWAYS SEEMS TO SUFFER FROM SEVERE YELLOWING TO THE WHITE SURFACE , PARTICULARLY AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGE. THIS ONE ONLY HAS A VERY THIN BAND ON THE EDGES

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VIRTUALLY BLEMISH FREE!!  IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE 

 NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE WHEEL WORKS TO PERFECTION!!! FIRMLY AFFIXED BUT NOT TOO TIGHT THAT THE WHEEL IS HARD TO MOVE LIKE ON SOME COPIES. THIS WHEEL MOVES FREELY

I MENTIONED ABOVE THAT MOST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM YELLOW BADLY. THIS ONE HAS A PURE WHITE SURFACE WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF LIGHT YELLOWING DOWN THE SPINE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS IN MINT CONDITION AS WELL. FIRSTLY, ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT, NO PEEL OR FLAKE. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT WITHOUT ANY THUMB TO FINGER SQUASHING AT ANY POINT, AN FINALLY, ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT'S ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NO WEAR EITHER TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS OF THIS SUPERB SPINE

 THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST SPECKS OF FEATHERING SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE COVER,

THE REAR SURFACE HAS THAT LIGHT AGEING SHADOW CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ALSO AROUND THE PERIMETER ON THE VERY EDGES. TWO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE AND THERE ARE NO MARKS .GLEAMING LAMINATE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED, WITH THE FLIPBACKS AND POLY LINED INTERIOR. THE DATE 10/70 IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE

I'LL JUST FINSH BY SAYING THAT IN MY OPINION YOU COULD NEVER GET A BETTER AND MORE PRISTINE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND SLEEVE ON THE PLANET, AND IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT VAULT CONDITION, AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING, AND FOR SOME LUCKY WINNER THIS IS AN INVESTMENT AS IT CAN ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE, AND WHATEVER IS PAID FOR IT NOW WILL IN FUTURE SEEM A BARGAIN

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
