I just bought an ornate Carlsbad Caverns ashtray and tiny Japanese doohickey :wink: antiquing, specifically because of the bizarre patina present. It was Too Hot Tuesday and they were 55% off or sumpin'.

Anyways, I only think of PiL when I hear Metal Box.

The Brothers Warners' French cousins have, understandably, determined that you can never have enough copies of Rum, Sodomy and the Lash:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rum-Sodomy-Lash ... Z9FJ91ZROA

I have auditioned this item and discovered it to be basically the 2004 expanded/remastered version [complete with 0:00 duration for "Dirty Old Town", a conceptual gag, I feel, and not a misprint at all] except that it's in, well, a tin box, with slightly raised lettering for the logo. I wonder if the challenge is to see which rusts and rots first, the CD or the box?

Incidentally, leaving aside the fact that discount copies can anyway be had for $10 or equivalent on Amazon, the French Amazon site has the book price at considerably less than the £26 the UK Amazon site is charging.
