Description
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 SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM THE E.J.DAY AND CO
THIS SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO FIND IN ANY SORT OF COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS MADE OF A VERY THIN CARD AND PRONE TO SEVERE CREASES AND BENDS
THIS EXAMPLE IS IN OUR OPINION TRULY MAGNIFICENT, READ ON....
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 LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS NO FLAWS . NO LAMINATE LIFT PEEL OF FLAKE
THE ONLY REASON THIS IS NOT A 100% MINT COVER IS THAT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A CHIP TO IT
THERE IS ONLY ONE NEAR INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINE AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE
ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND HAVE NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER OTHER THAN THAT TINY BIT ON THE TOP RIGHT TIP END
THE ULTRA THIN SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT,AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE. NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW.
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS SPARKLING AS THE FRONT WITH ONE TINY PATCH OF LIFT ONE THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS UNSPLIT AND HAS THE CORRECT 058 (MAY 1968) PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THE RECORD WAS RELEASED IN JUNE 1968 MAKING THIS A GENUINE PRE RELEASE 1ST PRESS
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
