Let’s be real, this CD is really hard to find. I guess most of us just downloaded the songs off YouTube or bought digital copies when we first heard about it.
But what if you want to get a physical copy of Í Túrett Og Moll but can’t afford to go to Iceland or don’t have friends who can buy you the cd there?
DONT WORRY!!! This guild will help you get your hands on what is known in the LazyTown fandom as the ‘most difficult Stefan Karl’ merch
STEP 1: DON’T ASK SOMEONE TO BUY IT FOR YOU WHEN THEY GO TO ICELAND (Optional)
If you have friends or know people who will buy it for you when they go to Iceland and you’re willing to pay them back… DONT!!!
Why? Shipping!
You’re much better off contacting the store because the shipping for my CD cost $9 USD (note, this is Iceland to AUSTRALIA!!! WE ARE NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING REALLY EXPENSIVE SHIPPING!!!)
I buy stuff on eBay where the origin is in America and shipping would usually cost me $20 (JUST FOR A CD!!!). I once bought LazyTown plushies from the UK and I had to beg the seller to sell the plushies in a lower price because I couldn’t afford the shipping price (cuz Robbie was sold separately from Sport and Steph plushies).
STEP 2: Contact the store
When I mean contact the store, I actually mean CONTACT THE STORE!!! Not add things to the online shopping cart.
Prepare that Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Messanger, or whatever email address you use as you will have to contact a store. Ebay, Amazon, Discogs, and any other music online store you can think off WILL NOT HAVE IT (Trust me, I literally pressed refresh/visited the sites each day just to see if one has it).
Note – This process will be lengthy. They may not respond immediately. In fact, it took me 1 month to get a response from one of the stores I asked.
Your best bet (and the place where I got mine) is Lucky Records. The cd cost me $10 USD (w/o the shipping).
But if that store no longer has it… I don’t know any other Icelandic record/music store. If that’s the case, you may need to Google.
STEP 3: Wait
The contact between the store and you will take a while. Like I said, it took me 1 month before I heard from them again. Then contact afterwards will take a few days. But it’s worth it.
Yep… that’s the duration of how long it takes. But I said, worth it!
STEP 4: Prepare that Paypal account
They’re more likely to accept Paypal as payment so you better have that ready.
STEP 5: Enjoy the CD
You’ve waited for at least 2 weeks and the CD finally arrives on your doorstep! Congratulations!!! You now own a physical copy of one of the ‘hardest to find’ merch by Stefan!
Enjoy his sweet voice as you play your new disk in your card or after you’ve imported the audio to iTunes!
