[edit] Trivia
- The album cover is highly reminiscent of the 1976 album A Trick of the Tail by Genesis.
- The album cover depicts five characters from the songs on the album itself:
-The ticket conductor from the train in "Station Approach" (or possibly bus conductor in "Great Expectations")
-The bouncer ("man at the door") from "Forget Myself"
-The man "kicking up mischief", and drinking from "Picky Bugger"
-A mexican, from "Mexican Standoff"
-A man needing patching up, and he has tea and a bike pump, as in "Puncture Repair"
