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 PALM TREE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE WHITE AREAS ARE STILL PURE WHITE. NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE LABEL.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE AT ALL APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD. THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. 

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1973 WERE CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.

THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES AND THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT ISLAND PRESSES USUALLY HAVE INHERENT VINYL NOISE. THIS IS AS GOOD AS ANY I HAVE EVER HEARD

THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CLICKS AND NO STATIC OR EVEN VINYL NOISE.

I CAN'T SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS EITHER

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN OUR MIND THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL GRADES MINT !!!!!!

TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT THAT WAY!

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE GATEFOLD THAT WAS MADE OUT OF ONE PIECE OF CARD AND HAS ONE FLIPBACK INSIDE THE BOTTOM EDGE WHERE IT IS SEALED. BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SURFACES ARE LAMINATED

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY PRISTINE HAVING A LAMINATED SURFACE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. 

IT IS IMMACULATE WITHOUT ONE BLEMISH. NO PEEL, FLAKE OR LIFT AT ANY POINT AND INCREDIBLY NO CREASES, CREASE LINES FOLDS OR BENDS

 THERE ARE NO LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR EVEN ANY EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE. FOUR SQUARE AND SHARP CORNERS

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE AGAIN 100% LAMINATED AND HAVE NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.THE LAMINATE RUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP

THE SPINE AGAIN IS JUST SUBLIME. NO LAMINATE LOSS AND NO SQUASHING, AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE 100% UNRUBBED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN A MORE SUBLIME EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE. THE LAMINATE IS AGAIN POLISHED AND LOOKS SUPERB. NO CREASES OR LINES ANYWHERE.NO SMALL LAMINATE LINES EITHER NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES. THE ORIGINAL OWNER STICKER SITS IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A FULLY LAMINATED INTERIOR PAIR OF SURFACES, WHICH ONCE AGAIN GLEAM LIKE NEW.THERE IS STILL THAT CREAK YOU GET ON SOME FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVES WHERE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN OPENED, AND MY GUESS IS THAT BECAUSE THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PROTECTIVE OUTER, THAT THE GATEFOLD PROBABLY HASN'T BEEN OPENED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES.

AGAIN THERE IS NO BLEMISH IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM TO THE INNER SURFACES

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE ISD FLAT AND SPLIT FREE

THIS SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE IN EVERY WAY AND EASILY GRADES MINT !!!!!

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