who is the guy on the cover of you've come a long way baby
You've Come a Long Way, Baby The title You've Come a Long Way, Baby was derived from a marketing slogan for Virginia Slims cigarettes.[9] Conceived by Red Design, the album's primary cover art features an obese young man dressed in a T-shirt bearing the words "I'm #1 so why try harder" while holding a cigarette in his left hand.[10][11] The original photograph was taken at the 1983 Fat People's Festival in Danville, Virginia and provided by the Rex Features photo library.[12] Despite a series of enquiries, the man has not been identified.[13] Additional photography for the You've Come a Long Way, Baby liner notes was provided by Simon Thornton.[10] The cover image was changed in North America to an image of shelves stacked with records.
