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 LABELS

THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.  ONE TINY STAIN AT THE TOP OF SIDE 2

 THE COLOUR RUNS FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE , WHILST THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS MINT. 

EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, THERE ARE JUST ONE OR TWO TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND A SINGLE DULL VERY FINE AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE

A SUPERB ORIGINAL ALBUM IN AMAZING CONDITION

NO DULLING AND NO MARKS ANYWHERE

THE TEST PLAY

THIS  RECORD 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 NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO

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

I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS OR TICS

THIS LP EASILY PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS STANDARD

THE SLEEVE

 LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNBLEMISHED COLOURS WHICH ARE RUB FREE 

RICH AND VIBRANT ACROSS THE WHOLE SURFACE

THE LAMINATE IS GLEAMING AND FREE FROM BLEMISHES

THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE 

NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. 

 THE CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE. THIS IS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE. 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  PERFECT. FULL LAMINATE ACROSS BOTH SURFACE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP

THE SPINE IS ALSO FULLY LAMINATED. THE TYPEFACE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AS ARE THE TAPERED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS  SHARP WITH ONLY A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING
