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 SUPERB CONDITION. 

THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . 

THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. I CAN ONLY SEE 3-4  MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES.

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. 

THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT WHERE IT LOOKS FLAWLESS

AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A ONE ALMOST INVISIBLE, HANDLING LINE ON THE OUTER EDGE OF SIDE ONE,AND A COUPLE OF VERY TINY WISPY HAIRLINES

THERE ARE STILL A COUPLE OF STRANDS OF RESIDUAL VINYL ATTACHED TO THE RIM

PLAYING THE RECORD

AN AWSOME ALBUM IN SPECTACLUAR CONDITION

WHAT I HAVE FOUND OVER THE YEARS IS THAT A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF BEATLES ALBUMS WERE PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS EITHER WORN OR TOO HEAVY RESULTING IN DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, USUALLY WHEN I AM LISTENING TO THEM THERE IS AN IRRITATING NOISE COMING FROM ONE SPEAKER ONLY WHERE THE STYLUS HAS WORN ONE SIDE OF THE GROOVE. WELL THIS ONE HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A MONO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB!! PRESSED LOUDLY EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED

THE ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY  ISSUES WHATSOEVER. A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN RECORDING THAT PLAYS WITHOUT CLICKS, AND ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER 

NO VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC HEARD IN JUSTA COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES ONLY. A TRULY INCREDIBLE REPRODUCTION

I HEARD THREE VERY TINY LITTLE TICS DURING 'WHEN I'M 64'

YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS BARELY PLAYED RECORD. IT IS TOTALLY SUPERB

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN TWO TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NEVER HEARD A CLEANER COPY THAN THIS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE ONE PLAY VINYL PLAYTHROUGH  AS MINT minus

THE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE RANKS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BEST COPIES . 

FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO BENDS ETC.

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS NO BLEMISHES TO IT AT ALL.  IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY WELL CARED FOR!!!

NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

THERE ARE JUST THREE TINY LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP AND ONLY THE TWO RIGHT TIP ENDS SHOW A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!! TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE MINT AND UNRUBBED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE 

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , TOTALLY PRISTINE AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE  ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD, OR SHOULD I SAY HALF OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF WHITE ON THE TOP FLIPBACKS

HAS THE PEPPER 'CREAK'

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR. THERE ARE FOUR TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONCE AGAIN NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGE, AND ON THIS SURFACE NO THUMB LINES

THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE DOES HAVE SEAM SPLITS, BUT THESE ARE ONLY SMALL ONES ON EACH EDGE AND NOT A COMPLETE SIDE SPLIT

THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS STUNNING SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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