VIRGIL [8-10 / 15º-(-30º)], one of the constellations in the "One Size Fits All" (1975) "universe", has a star named "Charing Cross" (previously "Embankment", on the first edition of the artwork). "Charing Cross", together with "Waterloo", is a reference to two subway stations near Festival Hall in London, where Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask was recorded for the Weasels Ripped My Flesh (1970) album. London subway stations: "Charing Cross", "Waterloo", "Marylebone", "Edgware Road", "Bayswater", "Queensway".
