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 TEST PLAY


THIS RARE MONO RECORDING PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF DISTORTION. THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLING NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND INCREDIBLY NOT EVEN ANY MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE  STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE LINKING GROOVES. 

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT DETRACTS FROM THE CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN MONAURAL SOUND OF THIS VINYL

ALL I HEARD WERE TWO OR THREE MINUSCULE DUST POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS LP EASILY PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS STANDARD
