Like legengofpittman I also got this as a gift from my sibling when she found it in Amoeba record
store for 14$. Didn't know about all the differences from the vinyl to cd, will listen to it and see
for myself soon. And as stated the packaging is awesome, although I can clearly see on my penny that
it's from 2004 which is weird if it's supposedly packaged in 1997 (repacking?) and I think I might
have the third copy of album which is pretty damn cool.
Edit: Ok just read up on the packaging on wikipedia, turns out I just a have a repressing of the
vinyl. Still it has the same stuff as the original had with a few changes as from what I can tell from
pic's of the original.

I just got this in the mail from amazon today. I honestly didn't know it came with this artwork and the flattened penny. WOW this is probably now one of my favorite vinyls that I own.
Awesome review btw.

flattened penny?
|
| |
Wikipedia that shit.
It's pretty cool.
|

"1997, initially in an edition of five hundred copies, numbered, with various inserts including a train-flattened penny"
so how did they get a train to flatten them?
|
| |
No idea, but it's fucking awesome.

They go to a train track, place a couple of pennies on the track and wait for a train to come that can run over them. Then all you need to do is collect the pennies. We have trams in my city and I used to that as a kid. I mean it's not unheard of.
|
| |
I'd have thought that the pennies would be lost or something
|
| |
The penny stays in place as the train flattens it.
It's awesome.
|
| |
How wide are they?
|
| |
Like twice as wide.
They machines at theme parks like Sea World that flatten pennies and imprint a design on it.
|
| |
nice
also does anyone know if the album title has any significance?
|
| |
The first side starts with a F# note, the second side ends with a A# note, and the record loops forever at the end.
|
| |
Oh I thought it might be something like that
|
| |
Got this today!
