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 PURPLEAND WHITE  LABELS ARE IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, WHILST THE WHITE IS GLEAMING AND PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

 

THE VINYL

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

THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE EITHER,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS . 

WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE A FEW MINUSCULE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND ONE ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINE


THE TEST PLAY


THE CLARITY IS SUPERB. CLEAR AS A BELL AND HAS A GREAT STEREO SPLIT. T

HAVING FULLY PLAYED THIS SUPERB VINYL I CAN CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER, IN FACT NOT EVEN ANY VINYL NOISE 

NO DISTORTION MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE VINYL IS SPECTACULAR AND APART FROM THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC, AND NO DUST POPS OR TICS


I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
