LED ZEPPELIN - PHYSICAL GRAFFITI ORIG 1975 2-LPs - EXC/NM - DIE-CUT COVER

$

30

Shipping within the US is set at $4.00 per package.  Therefore, if you buy one album, 2 albums, 10 albums or 20 albums, the shipping is $4.00.  I can fit up to about 25 single LP albums into my larger shipping box.

The item is an original vinyl pressing of the album entitled Physical Graffiti, the 1975 2-LP release by Led Zeppelin on Swan Song / Atlantic Records.  This is probably my favorite Zeppelin album start to finish, and it has some great tracks throughout – I especially like Night Flight, Trampled Underfoot and The Wanton Song, but there are a bunch of great tracks on this one.  This is an original pressing, complete with custom inner sleeves, insert fold-over and die-cut cover.  The cover does NOT have a barcode.  I just recently finished reading the great Hammer of the Gods about the band, and here is a great bit of trivia.  One night in 1974, the band had plans to go out to dinner with ex-Beatle George Harrison.  With Harrison that night was Stevie Wonder.  The band – not knowing that Wonder was coming – dressed up in full drag and make-up.  When they came down to the hotel lobby, they were embarrassed because they thought that Wonder would take the gag as an insult to him, which it certainly not intended to be.  In any event, photos of the band members in drag made their way into the artwork of this album, in the little windows of the inner insert.  The cover is in near-mint condition, except only for some mild wear in the upper left-hand corner of the back cover.  A very nice addition to any Zeppelin collection. 

The vinyl is in near-mint condition.  The cover is in excellent condition, and would be near-mint except as noted and as shown in the photo. 

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

NOTE:  Sealed albums are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once an album is opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value.

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE US:  Pursuant to Paypal Seller Protection Policy sections 11.3 and 11.4, EVERY item paid for by Paypal MUST be sent via PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL.  PLEASE NOTE THAT BIDDING ON THIS ITEM IS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS REQUIREMENT.  In addition, the USPS has recently increased their rates yet again.  If you need the cost of postage for any item, please send me a message through My eBay, or go to the Postal Service's website.  Multi-album LP sets weigh more and, consequently cost more.  I will always combine postage, since combining multiple albums saves money. 

If you have any questions about shipping costs, please contact me BEFORE YOU BID. 

I fully recognize that this results in very high shipping costs, but it is of no benefit to me because the money is paid to the USPS for postage.  If you think this policy is unfair, contact Paypal -- I'm only following their Seller Protection Rules.  The fact that other sellers may send items by First Class International -- and put themselves at risk for claims -- is immaterial.  If you have any questions about my shipping policy or costs, please send me an e-mail via My eBay.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty-plus years.  I am selling my collection little by little, to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time.  Shipping within the US is $4.00 per package, via media mail, regardless of the number of records up to 25.  If you want Priority shipping within the U.S., the cost is a function of weight and postal zone.  Send me a note at the conclusion of the auction, and I will send an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs).  Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again send me a note requesting that insurance be included in the invoice

PLEASE NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation, please let me know and I will send an invoice including the cost for delivery confirmation, which is currently $0.80.  

International Buyers – Please Note:

·  Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·  These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·  I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.  

Should you have any questions at all about postage, the payment method or for details about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me.
