Fold-out 14x14 poster sleeve in various colours of ink and paper.
With colour inner sleeve and various inserts, including:
(1) 'League of Nations' fan-club/contest insert,
(2) A facsimile of a letter from 'The Major',
(3) Small folded Tea Set discography, 'The complete works',
(4) A 7x7 insert with 13 photos.
Like the sleeves these inserts may be printed in different colours on different coloured paper.

NOTE: the labels display the wrong songs. (Side A lyrics begin, Strange lights in the sky / Coming down from the stars / 'Cause the Preacher's here again / Ten thousand years 'cause the Preacher's here...)
The labels and matrix numbers agree, however, so this was not a pressing error but a mistake by Demon, who were still repeating the mistake on their various artists compilation, The Singles Collection (Original A's & B's from 1980-83) (see videos).

Parkgate Studios appears as 'Park Gates' on rear of sleeve and Ampro Studios as 'Ampro'.
