The story behind this is hilarious, too. Virgin sent them to some company who specialized in album art..they showed them a whole bunch of concepts (included was a few that became famous, like the guy on fire shaking hands with some other dude) and as the band were walking out unhappy Partridge saw this hanging on a wall and pointed it out. Apparently it was the office joke, like, "Nobody would ever want this, haha" so they just kept it on the wall as a joke. And XTC liked it and convinced the guy they were with (who thought they were kidding) to let them use it.

I actually like one on top better by alot. That album cover's kind of cool.

And Farm hasn't? :)

But the album was kind of crap.

quoted for truth... I re-sketched this as a "love note" of sorts for my then-girlfriend :thumb:

Oh you romantic. ;)

I know it's just artwork, but when I look at it I get really drawn in. I always wonder what the story is, even though there isn't one. I piece things together in my mind, come up with conclusions that aren't there. That little girl is just TOO comfortable with the situation. Really chilling artwork but definitely one of the best.
