The self reference of this record jacket reminds me of a story called This is the title of this story, which is also found several times in the story itself, written by David Moser in 1982.

thx
I first read This is the Title of The Story… when I read Douglas Hofstadter’s Godel Escher Bach, an Eternal Golden Braid, also back in the 80s. Hmm, and that book was written in 1979. So Moser must have written it before '82, as I said above. I suspect there was some cross-talk between the XTC album and Moser; it seems too close in time for there to have not been influence.
the con now is we buy first, then listen. supposedly
