[edit] Album title

Maybe the album title should be f♯a♯∞ (F Sharp A Sharp Infinity), not f#a#∞ (F Pound A Pound Infinity), since it's music related. --219.101.154.162 09:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I corrected the article. —Slicing (talk) 17:45, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

the title is listed as F♯A♯∞ (capital letters) at cstrecords.com. AMG also lists it with capital letters. the article should be moved there and removed from the initial-lowercase lists. --G0zer 03:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which man?

"The preacher talking at the beginning of the song "Providence" references "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams, Jr., and is apparently the same man that quotes Blaze Bayley in "BBF3" on Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada."

I don't think that's quite right. A man is heard preaching at the beginning of "East Hastings", while the man in "Providence" - who does sound very much like the man in "BBF3" - talks ABOUT a preacher. Whether the 'preacher man' he talks about is the man in "East Hastings" is not clear from the record. Which of them references Hank Williams?

The man interviewed in Providence, apparently. It's not exactly a concrete source but this page http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858483479 seems to shed some light on the subject (specifically, the third comment from the bottom). Alreadyinuse 21:36, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added information about the vinyl release

I added a bunch of information on the vinyl release, but since I don't actually physically own the record I can't verify the accuracy of certain parts of the information. Regardless, I think it'll be helpful. I also added a lot more information on the individual movements of the CD edition and how they correspond to the vinyl versions; I think I've puzzled out where most of them are supposed to start and end. Some of them (like "Dead Metheny" and "The Sad Mafioso") we know from concert bootlegs already, so there wasn't much "original research" involved in this. Cassandra Leo 00:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just out of curiousity....

I own the vinyl version of this album, and I'm pretty sure it's one of the original 500. How can I tell? It has a bunch of inserts and a train-flattened penny....

Is there a number written in ink on the back of the album? Something along the lines of, for example, 233/500? If so, then most likely it is. Good find. AngulaR 04:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

It would be fascinating to know how and where the group came about five hundred train-flattened pennies. On a more serious note, I assume they are Canadian currency, but there's no way to tell from the article, and there are only five hundred of them in the world. Perhaps you could photograph the album and its packaging. You'd get infinite kudos, for great justice. -Ashley Pomeroy 11:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I have this album on vinyl, it's got lots of inserts (some gig fliers etc.) and a train flattened penny however it has no number on the back, is it one of the first 500? I can take some pictures over the next couple of days if anyone's interested? Vicissitudo (talk) 20:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

That would be good! I think if it has the train-flattened penny, it is probably one of the original 500. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 21:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, here are the pictures:
