I think we need a quick how-to guide to image posting here!
Very basic steps:- Do an internet search for your chosen album cover.
- Open the image file on a page of its own, i.e. ending with .jpg or .png or whatever in the browser's address bar.
- Copy that URL from the address bar.
- Go to make new post in this thread.
- Click on image linking button in the post editor – it's the one with a rectangle containing a stylised mountain landscape in silhouette, immediately to the right of the paperclip icons and two to the left of the quote icon.
- Paste in image URL in the box that pops up.
- Underneath the URL you've just pasted in, there's a checkbox labelled "Retrieve remote file and reference locally". Untick/uncheck it.
- To post the image at smaller than full size/full page-width, click under 'Width' at the bottom-left of this options box, and input your preferred display size in pixels, e.g. 300 or 400. The height will automatically adjust to keep the proportions.
- Now hit OK, and the image should appear in the post editor.

Like I said, the styling, typography, everything, was completely new on me – I assumed I ought to recognise the cover, so this was very disorientating to discover!
And this was only compounded by the design looking like nothing to do with the time the album was made. If you'd shown me the image out of context, I would've totally assumed it was some kind of 21st-century repackaging for a special edition or something, say an outer card sleeve. A bit like how the 1990 Bowie 2-CD Singles Collection I own came with its original cover...
...but inside a cardboard slipcase looking like this for its late-'90s reissue:

Thanks for this. Personally, I kept getting an error that the extension JPG could not be used to post but I don't think I was unchecking the box. So, I keep using Imagur to upload files and then copy the large thumbnail code.

Close call between this and Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, but this is just plain funnier and closer to the spirit of the album and band.
This is a fun little quiz for those of us who dig (remember that word?) this album:

I'm going to see t'Oo in a few weeks but will be barely close enough to see them on stage, never mind ask them to confirm any baked bean related anecdotes.
