Artwork
On front cover of the album there is portrait of Marc Almond by artist Val Denham, who would later work on the rest Marc And The Mambas artworks; according to her sign the painting is called “Boy Halo”. On back side of the sleeve − collage by Almond of photographs, taken with or by him, and bottom caption: ‘It’s My Happening And I’m Freaking Out’. The photographs features mainly Almond himself, Anni Hogan and Matt Johnson, other personalities which can be spotted here are Cindy Ecstasy, Stevo, Huw Feather, Genesis P-Orridge, Dave Ball, Anita Sarko, Dianne Brill, Divine and Andy Warhol.

The gatefold features a set of simpler photographs by Peter Ashworth, of Almond, Hogan, Johnson, Cindy Ecstasy and other Val Denham artworks, including the “Boy Halo” from front cover. One of the photographs, with Almond holding a doll, is repeated on vinyl labels (sides 1 and 3). The inner vinyl sleeves have rough drawings of eyes, similar to ones on Almond's clothes in 1982, signed by ‘Rizz’ (possibly the creator of said clothes).

The entire layout and design, including Marc And The Mambas logo, is by Huw Feather.
