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  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

 

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE


THE SLEEVE IS A LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE FROM THE E.J.DAY CO.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THE MAIN BODY OF THE FRONT IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.

THE LAMINATE HAS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE WHATSOEVER  

THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES ON THE SPINE

FOUR ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. 

THE CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND HAVE NO RUB ON THE TIP ENDS

THE MAIN BODY OF THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!!!

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER. THIS IS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE. 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE IN PERFECT CONDITION. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS PERFECTLY FLAT, AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. NON LAMINATED AND VERY FRAGILE, BUT EHRE THE TEXT IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ONE SMALL SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAXOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES AND JUST A MINUSCULE AMOUNT OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES


THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

 

 

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