It is SOOO interesting what some people consider worst and what some consider good.

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.

that's pretty unlikely as the Pink Floyd album with that artwork came out before XTC were even signed to a record contract!
