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 SUPERB  PASTEL PINK ISLAND LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. 

NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS AND A COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AS IS THE WHITE i LOGO, AND THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE RECORD

SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, WITH A STUNNING SHEEN TO THE SURFACE. 

IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER ISPOTLIGHTS, THERE IS STILL NOTHING VISIBLE

THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION A MINT RECORD

PLAYING THE RECORD

FINAL UPGRADE VINYL

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY. THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AND A  DISTORTION AND CRACKLE FREE PERFORMANCE.

THOSE THAT KNOW EARLY ISLAND PRESSES WILL APPRECIATE THAT THERE IS USUALLY VARYING DEGREES OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE PRESS, BUT HERE THIS EXAMPLE HAS NONE AND IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST ISLAND RECORDINGS I HAVE COME ACROSS

NO NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS.

THE CLEANEST EXAMPLE OF THIS I HAVE EVER HEARD

NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO

A TRULY PERFECT EXAMPLE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  MINT IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM THE E.J DAY GROUP LTD

OFTEN FOUND SEVERELY RUBBED THIS VERY DELICATE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO FIND IN A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. AND IS IN TOP CONDITION 

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES  OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DENTS EITHER.

THE BROWN SURFACE IS JUST MINT!! NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER, AND NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN A HINT OF RECORD SHAPE

BEING PICKY, THERE IS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF SPORADIC GREYING AROUND THE BORDERS

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. 

THE TOP EDGES ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE VERY SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE LEFT TIPS

THE SPINE IS STILL EXTREMELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS  STILL RAZOR SHARP  AND AS NEW.AND CLEARLY REVEALS WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF IT'S LIFE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE VERY TOP, AND A THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE INNER PANELS. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED, AND THERE IS JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE ON THE RIGHT PANEL RUNNING NEXT TO THE  SPINE WHICH SHOWS WHERE IT WENT A LITTLE AWRY IN THE FACTORY

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS  UNSPLIT, FLAT AND STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST A LITTLE CREASING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. THE DATE 0670 IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHICH STANDS FOR JUNE 1970. THE MONTH THE LP WAS RELEASED

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

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