www.andrewgold.com lets you "play" the album cover as a clicking game. Post your score to Facebook! Fair warning, it also auto-plays "Thank You For Being A Friend" in the background.

This is the album with Lonely Boy on it. Produced by Peter Asher. We cut it at night with the same band, studio, engineer that Linda used during the day while cutting her LP Hasten Down The Wind. The cover of this was often commented on as an original idea, which I unfortunately cannot take credit for. The genius behind this was Ethan Russell. There are 32 things wrong with the picture (see TRIVIA PAGE) . However, someone wrote me that the only thing wrong with the picture they could see was that on the back cover my shirt clashed terribly with my jacket. I liked that letter.

Oh, I've just looked it up and realised that's what the album is actually called. but it's a pun on 'we'll meet again' isn't it? do ppl know that song in the US?

The Byrds covered it on their first album.

"Whale meat again" is the punch line of an ancient joke
― why do I hate that thing (excluding imago, marcos) (wins), Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link
Xp Or maybe it was just its use in Dr Strangelove that inspired them to close the album with it.
― brimstead, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link
^^In the liner notes to the album there's a dedication to Kubrick, so yeah.

Oh, so there's a copy of I've Got My Own Album To Do at my local alleyway shop, with a very flattering employee-pick sticker on it. The tracklist is pretty promising too. I think it was around eight bucks or I woulda just snapped it up. Is this actually a good album y/n?

The connection to Cliff Richard is that this Garth Hewitt guy was a sort of Christian rocker, though the thing is really messing with my head is that Bryn Haworth plays on the album too and I thought HE was Garth Hewitt (and vice versa).
― Root It Oot (Tom D.), Friday, 12 December 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link
Oh, hold on, it gets worse, I just checked Bryn Haworth on wiki and he's a Christian too.
