How strange... I just tried to glue mine back together last night... 
I have had it for AGES with good intentions of getting it framed in 
some wonderous / artistic manner... but the damned thing fell apart.  
It is one of my big disapointments in KaTe purchases..  I haven't 
unwrapped the cd.. I will check it tonight, but I was under the 
impression when I bought it (and inspected it inch by inch) that it 
was just the same CD, with expensive (and extremely prone to comming 
apart at the seams) packaging.
