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

THE LIGHT TAN LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. 

THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

I HAD TO REALLY LOOK CLOSE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AT ALL, BUT DID SPOT A SINGLE REALLY SMALL LINE WHEN I USED AN ILLUMINATING MAGNIFYING GLASS

 THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE 1972

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. 

IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. 

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY. THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

THIS DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, BUT THIS IS EXTREMELY MINUSCULE

I HEARD 2-3 TINY DUST POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A FANTASTIC VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS  NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL ' TINSLEY ROBOR' UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE WHICH IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION.

IT WAS PLACED INTO A PVC OUTER SLEEVE ON THE DAY OF PURCHASE AND THIS HAS RESULTED IN AN AS NEW CONDITION SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES, NO LIGHT CREASES AND JUST A COUPLE OF THE CORNER TIPS WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE COLOUR IS PRISTINE. NOT ONE SPECK OF RUB ANYWHERE. DEEP RICH INKS AND NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE COLOURS PRESENT, RIGHT ACROSS BOTH SURFACES , WITH A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY AS PERFECT WITH A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNERS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE  ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. A MINUSCULE SPECK OF TIP END RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT. MOST COPIES SHOW RING WEAR HERE, BUT NOT THIS ONE IT IS PERFECT

NO PRESSURE LINES BY ANY OF THE EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL BLUE LYRIC INNER  . MOST HAVE RECORD SHAPE AND SEAM SPITS DUE TO THE FLIMSINESS OF THE PAPER, BUT AMAZINGLY THIS ONE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION

THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
