[edit] Linking Problems

I've tried almost a dozen times now, and it seems to be impossible to link to this article. Either Wikipedia or Myspace seem to be changing the uppercase letters to lowercase in the URL, which leads the link to a "not found page". This is a problem, as this page needs to be linked worldwide immediately. What is the problem?

[edit] Not my section, but someone else's

It's nice to have an image, but could someone possibly dig up or scan in an image of the proper Gilliam-designed cover rather than the cheap'n'nasty replacement currently pictured? Bonalaw 09:42, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought that was the original. There's a small version of the original art on 8-track here if you want to use that. I haven't found a larger version yet, but I'll keep looking. --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 12:23, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Actually, if you read here, that cover is the original (well, except that it had a square cut-out instead of an oval shape). The original art was underneath that. --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 12:26, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Compact disc

Has this album been reissued on CD?

Yes. Available at all good record stores. --Bonalaw 17:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I did do some research, only to find that the CD rerelease doesn't conatin the same trick recording the the LP had. "It is particularly noted for the fact that the original release on Charisma Records had two parallel grooves on side two, so that different material would be played depending on where the stylus was put down on the record's surface." Its unfortuante that the Red Book CD standard does not allow for this. Why can't they have CDs with two or more interlaced spiral tracks? Would it cause tracking problems, and/or is it due to Red Book's limited and inflexible metadata? Its surely not "Rocket science" to use digital technology to emulate this.203.214.75.127

Actually, yeah, because of how CDs work, you can't do that. Sorry. It's not 'rocket science', you just don't understand how CDplayers work i guess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.187.60.241 (talk) 20:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, a lack of a physical stylus on a CD player prevents anything like that. Crazydiamond1to9 04:59, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sketches

Should there be descriptions of the sketches on this album (summaries of their plots)? Especially sketches that do not appear on the TV show. George C 16:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
