GG Supersounds is  operated by two very experienced Ebay vinyl sellers. Itsthevinylcountdown (over 3000 feedback) and gazwoz (over 10,000 feedback)
We have joined forces to offer the FINEST VINYLS on eBay! We have a gigantic collection that we are slowly listing over the coming months, and probably years!
This collection consists of thousands of 7" vinyls and LPs  that have remained in mint  / un-played condition.  
This is a huge project for us and this will ongoing for a few years we suspect so please bookmark our page and keep checking back as new items will be listed daily
Due to the incredible condition of the collection , they will only be sent tracked and signed and thus insured
Also items are sent, IN MOST CASES, from two separate towns due to the task. From Bognor Regis (7" vinyls and high end rare LPs) , and from Horsham (Classic titles LPs), so we are not always able to combine shipping

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN SUPER CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS AROUND TEN SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 58 YEARS!!!!

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE SOME VERY TINY WISPY HAIRLINES 

THE TEST PLAY

THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.

THE EARLY MONO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. MANY MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALBUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL HAS NONE

THE RUN IN IS NEAR SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS NEAR SILENT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. JUST THE OCCASIONAL SECOND OF VERY LOW VINYL NOISE, IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

NO CRACKLE OR CLICKS

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS NEAR MINT!!! 

THE SLEEVE

OF ALL THE BEATLES ALBUMS, THIS SLEEVE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE HARDEST TO FIND IN REAL TOP CONDITION. ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FLIMSY DESIGN AND THE WAY IN WHICH THE LP WAS HOUSED INSIDE THE SLEEVE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF COPIES WILL HAVE CREASED FRONT SURFACE/FOLDOVERS, DAMAGED SPINES, TORN INNER POCKET, AND RINGWEAR ON THE REAR SURFACE

THIS MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE HAS ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!

SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. IT HAS BEEN HOUSED FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE AND THIS HAS STOPPED ANY CREASING TO THE SURFACE . IT IS USUAL TO FIND THIS THIN FLAP CREASED ACROSS CORNERS WHERE THE FLIMSY PIECE OF CARD HAS BEEN ACCIDENTALLY BENT OR FOLDED, BUT THIS COPY HAS NONE AT ALL

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. AS MENTIONED THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND EVEN THE CORNERS ARE  SQUAREWITH THE TINIEST OF DINGS TO THE TIPS

THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE.NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE SMALL THUMB LINE IN RINGO'S HAIR.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ON THE TOP EDGE, THE CORNER TIPS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND WHICH OFTEN LOSES THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THE VERY TIPS TOP AND BOTTOM HAVE THE BAREST SPECK OF RUB. THERE ARE A FEW TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

THE RIGHT HAD EDGE IS ALSO 100% FULLY LAMINATED AND UNBLEMISHED 

THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS JUST HOW SUPERB THIS SLEEVE IS, AND WHY IT IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS. MOST COPIES HAVE DAMAGED INNER SPINES, OR AT LEAST NICKS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE WAY THE RECORD IS HOUSED BY INSERTING IT FROM THE SPINE INTO THE INNER POCKET. AS THIS IS SUCH A TIGHT FIT, IT IS ALL TO EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY NICK THE POCKET EDGE AND TEAR IT, BUT FAR MORE LIKELY IS THE FACT THAT UNLESS THE LP IS FULLY HOUSED INSIDE THE POCKET, CLOSING THE GATEFOLD OFTEN RESULTED IN ANY EXCESS VINYL PROTRUDING FROM THE SLEEVE TO ACT LIKE A BLUNT KNIFE AND OVER TIME DAMAGED THE SPINE.

THIS SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY UNBLEMISHED/ NOT ONE SPECK OF DAMAGE TO THE SPINE, NOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE INNER POCKET. ABSOLUTELY MINT!!!!

THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO PRISTINE, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE TO EITHER INNER SURFACE

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND A CLEANER AND BETTER EXAMPLE

THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION.BARELY A WRINKLE AND TOTALLY WHITE AND UNSPLIT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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