Description

Dear Ebayer, Collector - Please read:
''Between 1981 and 1984 there was implied a 85% luxury tax on vinyl imports in Iceland, which forced 3 Icelandic companies to start pressing vinyl in Iceland: labels Steinar, Fálkinn and Spor. The pressing company was named Alfa, and most covers were printed in Prisma, both of which are located in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland. These were not big pressings, approximately  between 250 to 500 copies for each title. I have contacted 2 out of 3 ex company directors and they have no information on what they pressed or in what quantity. They all tell the same story though, that many of these records have been destroyed, since the CD age, and it's unlikely that there are many left of each title today in good condition.''
PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT, SEE ACTUAL SHIPPING COST BELOW!!!

ARTIST: Led Zeppelin

TITLE: Physical Graffiti

LABEL: Steinar hf.

YEAR: pressed in Iceland in 1982

COUNTRY: Iceland

CONDITION: 
Vinyl: both records are NM (look extremely good, can't see that they've been played more than once, twice max)

Info: Originally released on Swan Song label in 1975, this is the very limited Icelandic pressing, made in 1982. In EXCELLENT condition!

I'm an honest, experienced seller, with good feedback and the interest of selling top notch records at all time.

I ship all vinyls in thick cardboard so they'll be received in the condition they're when I ship.

I use a grading system, which is noted down below here, and I use it very strictly.

I also take all my pictures my self, so you'll receive what you see.


ATTENTION: 
Ebay doesn't allow more than 4$ shipping, for this category - Which is impossible to ship for, from Iceland.

So The shipping prices are listed below, those you'll be charged with.

Shipping:

Europe:

LP Only Shipments: $9 for the 1st LP + $5 for each additional LP. 

Worldwide:

LP Only Shipments: $15 for the 1st LP + $7 for each additional LP. 


This is how I rate records

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and and extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. 
Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The records shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection-filler.
