Released in an outer sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag. Each cover showed an alternate angle of a man in a bar. The scenario has been photographed from 6 different viewpoints within the bar and then 6 different sleeve variations have been created (with the letters A-F at the top of the spine denoting each variation). The inner sleeve features a 'magic' ink in different colours which appear on the design when gently wetting.
Runouts: everything etched, except for STRAWBERRY which is stamped. On Side B, after the letter B, there is a number 4 that is scratched out, followed by a number 5.
