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. Pretty cool, eh?
