I got a lovely present for Christmas, the white flag Processed Beats, unopened and sparkly white, and what was even better, it had a banner with it which I'd never seen, here is it. Interestingly, the masked man picture is a photograph with the face covered with a tea towel  . Does anyone know anything about this?   |

Cool. I had a look for some info on it and found the following, but nothing about the actual person:
The iconic masked man or "ultraface" logo that appears on nearly all early Kasabian releases was created by the band and went through a few versions until the final album art was designed by Simon Corkin. On the early single releases the masked man still had shoulders and a full head. It is inspired by Italian ultras. "Italian football fans have their own flags, so we wanted one," Chris told MTV in 2005. "And if you see that face, you know we're in town."
The official Kasabian manifesto says the following about the masked man: "The man behind the mask doesn't have to be a Che Guevara revolutionary. He could be a shelf stacker or an office worker, a dreamer, a schemer, the bloke/girl next to you on the bus, in the club, on the terraces, down the pub."
It has been speculated that Chris wearing a scarf over his face on the cover of West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum is a nod to the logo.
