What is that with the exchange rate factored in?

I just do not think people would pay $27 for a single CD, even one with the merits of Broken China! I mean, you can buy ITAOT with that (or come very close)!

With respect, stratman, SHUT IT!

I'm still trying to flog (US: offload) my CD of BROKEN CHINA, and after the recent posts, it seems I'll need to reassess my offering price. :grin:

Erm...GB£12.50 + £5.00 p&p

I am guessing that "erm" is the same as "umm"

New avatar, and a question

I got an avatar...this is cool!

I'm wondering about it, though...I believe this symbol is also the mathematical "null-set" symbol as well as the statistical "impossible event". Any serious guesses as to why Mr. Thorgerson chose this to be the symbol of Broken China ?

Talking

maybe because he thought it would be impossible for anyone to like the album.

Naughty, naughty!

But really, Mr. Thorgerson seems to design very carefully...I wonder what he was thinking?

I think that the "null-set" is a very good symbol for depression. One feels empty and he can do almost nothing.

That makes good sense.

I wonder if there is also an element of contradiction involved? Here are a couple of examples of ways to get the null set or impossible event:

Solving a system of equations and winding up with something like this-- 1=2. Therefore the answer is the null set.

Conducting an experiment such as a coin-toss and ending up with a result that is simultaneously heads and tails, or somehow neither. That is the impossible event.

Any thoughts about where (if anywhere) that might lead?

Are you Canadian, FloydWright? I got my Broken China for like 15 bucks, which is only about $10 American! You'll have to come to Calgary sometime- there's an HMV that has some really cheap, out-of-print CDs.
