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 RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE DEEP BLUE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO  STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE, 

THE BLUE ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES 

THE VINYL

A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE ONLY SOME WISPY HAIRLINES,VISIBLE

THE TEST PLAY

THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS.

THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO CLICKS AT ALL, JUST SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS , HEARD ONLY IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES LIKE A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROVES, AND SOME ODD LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE,

WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EX++

THE SLEEVE

FIRSTLY THIS IS THE FIRST PRESS SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.

OCTAGONAL DESIGN THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WELL

FULLY LAMINATED FRONT AND REAR SURFACES

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASING OR BENDING TO ANY PART OF IT, AND INCREDIBLY JUST ONE TINY LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE FRAGILE SPINE. NO THUMB LINES EITHER

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO THIS SLEEVE

 THE LAMINATED EDGES ARE IN PRISTINE UNWORN CONDITION, AND THE NON LAMINATED EDGES HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THEM

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS ALSO TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,

THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT IS PRISTINE AND UNCREASED . A SUPERB EXAMPLE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS WITH PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS

THE ORIGINAL BLUE RIMMED OCTAGONAL INNER SLEEVE INDICATING A STEREO PRESSING IS FLAT, HAS NO CREASES AND IS SPLIT FREE

THERE IS SOME STAINING ON ONE SIDE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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