Original sleeve folds out into a cross-shaped poster of Isaac Hayes. Original copies came with a custom single hard paper inner sleeve that had the image Isaac Hayes head on the front and the credits on the back (same as found on the cross shaped fold out cover). This was provided to buyers because the label figured many would unfold and hang the cover as a poster. Only one custom inner sleeve was provided to place both LPs inside in case this was done. Some copies also came with a 4X6 inch color foldout advertising and exclusive Ebony Magazine subscription offer to members of the Isaac Hayes Movement.
Recorded at Stax Records with the Dolby System Liner notes: Chester Higgins, Senior Editor, Jet Magazine
