On the album cover, Jackson appears in the guise of a particular type of petty criminal known in the United Kingdom as a spiv, a character who, in Jackson's own words, "always wears a gross polka-dot tie and a pencil-thin mustache, and he's always trying to sell you a watch or something like that real cheap. I think people always want to put a label on what you do, so I thought I'd be one step ahead of them and invent one myself - spiv rock." Jackson later explained, that the spiv character is "a silly image that I thought appalling. It's not intended to be a new musical revolution                There is this 45 RPM (box set) version which is the complete vinyl LP album released as 5 x 7"-singles in a 7"-box.   The box set included a 12¼" x 18¾" poster with an elongated Jackson image.                 The interesting thing is the sleeves of each of the 5 45s has a different image on it . . .  When they are arranged in the proper order they form the image on the poster.
