The philadelphia experiment was known during this time.. by the mainstream movie. But the real story was later with Al Bielek, going on the coast to coast am radio show late at night.
So this guy putting this image on the album cover that same year, before the mainstream movie came out.. you got some red flags because people wouldn't have known about it until the movie.
"Wang Chung" "Points On The Curve", album cover from 1983.. this ship with energy circles around it. A bit odd how they'd do this, where it doesn't seem to have anything to do with points on the curve. But it did have lots to do with the philadelphia experiment, where in 1943 the navy ship was trying to get off radar with electric and magnetic fields and dissappeared and went to that same year 1983.. but can't find anything on the internet about the correlation

The album cover for Wang Chung’s “Points on the Curve” (released in 1984) features a ship with energy circles around it, which does seem quite intriguing1. The Philadelphia Experiment, an alleged event in 1943 where a Navy ship supposedly became invisible and teleported, has been a popular topic in conspiracy theories23. However, there doesn’t appear to be any direct correlation between the album cover and the Philadelphia Experiment.
The Philadelphia Experiment story involves the USS Eldridge and claims of invisibility and teleportation, but it is widely regarded as a hoax23. The album cover’s design might simply be an artistic choice rather than a reference to this event.
It’s fascinating how these elements can spark curiosity and lead to such interesting connections! Do you have any other favorite album covers or stories behind them?

well it's obviously what it's showing but can't find anything on the internet about connection with the two.. and even any info about the album cover and why this ship

It seems like the connection between Wang Chung’s “Points on the Curve” album cover and the Philadelphia Experiment is more speculative and not officially documented. The album cover, designed by Barney Bubbles, features a ship with energy circles around it, which could be interpreted in various ways1. However, there isn’t any concrete information linking it directly to the Philadelphia Experiment.
Sometimes, album art can be quite abstract and open to interpretation, allowing fans to draw their own connections and meanings. It’s possible that the imagery was chosen for its visual impact rather than a specific reference.
If you’re interested in more about the band’s creative process or other album covers, I’d be happy to help! Do you have any other albums or artists you’re curious about?

Looking into Barney Bubbles.. he offs himself shortly after designing this album cover

Yes, Barney Bubbles, born Colin Fulcher, was a highly influential graphic artist known for his work in the music industry. Sadly, he passed away on November 14, 1983, at the age of 411. He struggled with manic depression and had significant personal and financial difficulties, which contributed to his decision to take his own life23.

Barney Bubbles designed the album cover for Wang Chung’s “Points on the Curve” in 19831. This was shortly before his tragic passing in November of the same year2. His work on this album cover, like much of his other work, continues to be appreciated for its unique and impactful design.
