Interesting stuff. The band image surrounded by the electric cooker rings, of course, eventually ended up as the sleeve to the Accident Prone single. Must get myself down to that Barbican thing. Just a question of time and funds  Oh, and avoiding rail strikes 🙄 |

What happened to the steaming turd design? Will be used for Quo's "Famous in the 90's" compilation. |

I know, right? It looks like a rough draft sketch. But it also looks like the band have melted! We'd accept an album cover like that nowadays. But I suppose back in the 70's, if your album covers didn't have Dragons or something, it wouldn't sell. And with Quo being Rock they probably wanted something down to Earth that would resonate with the "man in the road". |

The tour programme from spring 1979 said, "if you can't stand the heat....you shouldn't be here"
Ironic for an album that shocked many of us at the time because of it's serious change in direction. Even more so than it's predecessor.
