Artwork [ edit ]
The standard cover art features the male member Bobby Farrell "naked [with] a futuristic golden thong"[2] [3] [4] [5] [5] Liz Mitchell , told The Sydney Morning Herald [6]
They wanted to photograph us all totally naked in chains with [band member Bobby Farrell] standing over us like it was bondage[...] I wept—trust me. When they showed us the costumes, it was just heavy gold chains.
The front cover of the South Korean vinyl edition features the band in one live performance, and the back cover of the edition features the band in a studio photo session.[7]
