Published By EMI Music Publishing Ltd. The original LP was released in a gatefold cover with a poster of Bicycle Race, a bunch of naked women on bicycles. Includes also a glossy laminated printed inner sleeve. The Jazz name on both front and back are embossed.
Catalogue number EMA 788 (I) is stated on the inner sleeve.
It should be made clear that the poster was attached to the inner back gatefold (right edge).This back edge was sealed and the disc would be in the front gatefold. The poster could be viewed, still attached, by carefully folding out the poster. However it could be detached (permanently) by tearing the perforations.. Those that are loose have been separated from the sleeve in this way. The black and white inner sleeve is a thin very glossy card with rounded corners.
May also contain an additional portraits / lyrics poster (284mm x 428mm) [see photos]
Album written and recorded July/October 1978
