Does anyone know ideas/background to the WYW album cover? And what the penguin story?

I always assumed that it meant you can have whatever you want, even a penguin in suspenders.

There is presumably some story behind it because they chucked penguins on the sleeve of the Living On An Island single as well. Although these flightless birds were naked It may have nothing to do with the band and is simply down to the artist/designer and record company. But it is an odd one, admittedly

Wasn't the 'Penguin Crew' something that came before?

Can you name the faces on the cover?
No idea on the penguin.

It must have been the drugs and strange commercials ... Thinking about it, that jaunty little jingle melody could have been lifted by Quo for one of their extended guitar jams. And those were real critters, not CGI. Got bribed with fish into doing it. Fish were definitely hurt in the making of this vid. Nuff lived closest to where these creatures roam. That raises dark suspicions.

A bloody good album, but a fcuking awful album cover.I get it that it was meant as a concept album, but what on earth were they thinking of? The Beatles got away with it, but Quo certainly did not!

I read once I think in one of the autobiographies it was supposed to represent open mindedness. As in “what ever you want whatever you like”
Whatever happens to the penguin crew? We’re they even mates in real life?
