The present information sheet, of a transparent material, is one part of a two-part invitation to a charitable event, and would have been wrapped around the second part. The whole would then have been folded in sixths for mailing. The sheet is divided into three vertical strips, of which the center is imprinted entirely with a narrative about DIFFA, and the right and left consist of an all over pattern of irregular circular forms, outlined in black, perhaps based on either cells or reptile skin.

Recto: On a salmon colored background, in the top half, Talking Heads is imprinted on a curve in green in upper and lower case partly connected letters; immediately below, centered, Hey Now is imprinted in bright pink. In the center, there is a photograph about two inches high of a long-haired singer in a zoot-styled shiny jacketed suit; his lege are bent, his left arm holds a microphone to his mouth and his right arm hangs straight down. Blue collar and cuffs peek out from the jacket and black and white shoes are seen beneath the cuffs of the black pants. Beneath the figure, Radio Head in chartreuse capitals outlined in green appears on one line and From the film 'True Stories' appears in upper and lower case blue script.
Verso: On a chartreuse background, an illustration of a multicolored painted accordian appears in the center. In small black capitals, Radio Head is imprinted above to the left and below to the left and right, while Hey Now is imprinted above to the right. Production information appears below each of these four song title listings and A and B, in capitals, are imrpinted to the left and right respectively of the central illustration.
Inside, left: There is a photograph of a group of boys, roughly arranged in a row, wearing green shirts and dark pants (jeans?). The shirts have identical unidentified insignias on the top right. The boys are waiving sticks in their upraised arms, are open-mouthed and appear to be calling out. Toward the center, one boy is holding an unidentified animal (dog? pony?) on a leash; to his right, another boy holds an unidentified object in one hand. From left to right, just behind the boys, are utility poles; on the right is a swing set and on the extreme right a partial view of a house. A pale blue cloudy sky appears in the background and dried brown earth and grass occupy the foreground.
Inside, right: A night color photograph of the inside of a bar or clubhouse, in predominantly pink and purple tones, shows a man and woman at a table in the foreground, a man and woman at a table in the middle distance, and a man on the left in the background. The tables are lit by candles in holders which cast a glow on the faces, there are drinks on the tables, and there is probably some entertainment, not included in the design, taking place. The man on the left at the front table appears to be looking at something in the near distance. He has a thin moustache and thick curly hair in an afro style and wears a print shirt beneath a suit jacket. The woman on the right, at the same table, is facing straight ahead, but her eyes are cast to her left. She has long straight hair and wears a thin chain around her neck and a geometric print dress. The man in the middle distance and the woman next to him are dressed in white shirts. Both have black curly hair and he has a moustache, as does the man in the background.

Box - Recto: Against a background of lavender sky with white and yellow puffy clouds are several rows of reddish-golden-haired angels in similar pale tones, elbows bent and hands folded in prayer under the chin, eyes turned toward the center and focused on a cartoon-like line illustration of a white and black dog. The dog, smiling, is seated on a red-cushioned wooden-framed throne topped by cone-shaped finials. David Byrne in Old English purple type appears on two lines above the angel grouping; uh-oh is imprinted in small, thick lower-case black type below the throne. A small chartreuse rectangle, outlined in black, is situated on a slant just above the center at the right, and is imprinted in capital letters This is Garbage./ followed by, in upper and lower case (This box, that is.) The/ American record business/ insists on it, though. If you/ agree that it's wasteful, let/ your store management/ know how you feel.
Verso: From the top edge, extending about two thirds down, there is a photograph of a sunset, the sky and clouds in predominantly red and orange tones and the sun, bottom center, in bright white. The musical numbers are imprinted in black capitals in a vertical column on the left. In the lower third, on a chartreuse background, the design continues in the form of a pre-printed postcard, pre-addressed to the United States Senate, protesting the use of cardboard cd packaging of the present type. Within a narrow horizontal band separating the two parts of the design, is a message in miniature white capitals directing consumers to sign and return the postcard, first filling in the name of the signatory's senator.
The narrow side and top panels are imprinted with the musician's name and the cd title on backgrounds continuing from the recto and verso.
Insert - Closed, Recto: This repeats in miniature the central design of the box, recto, with David Byrne imprinted on one line instead of two.
Verso: This repeats the sunset photograph in miniature.
Opened, Recto: The top third provided song titles, personnel and production information in white letering on black. The middle and lower thirds contain three rows of black and white cartoon-like illustrations, three per row. In the upper left hand corner of row one, enclosed in a narrow band, are the words and finally.
Opened, Verso: The Closed recto and verso designs appear upside down in the top third. In the middle and lower third are three rows of color photographs, in tones similar to the sunset photograph. Rows one and three have three square format photraphs each; row two has square format photographs on the left and in the center and four smaller squared photographs on the right.

Box - Recto: The central photographic image, placed in the top half, is an inverted heart-shaped scultpure, painted dark pink-tinged red. At its center top, the heart extends into a rimmed opening, as if on a vessel. Within the heart, A Luaka Bop is painted in white capitals on three lines and an eye is centered between the second and third lines. The perimeter of the sculpture is spiked by thirteen nails. The background consists of a hazy image in greenish blue, with white highlights, of a crowd of musicians and audience members.The design of a narrow band at the top, imprinted on pink with the album title in black capitals, is carried through on the verso, side pieces and top and bottom enclosures, imprinted with production information on varicolored bands.
Verso: Against the background of a color photograph of a room, in the right half, beginning below the top band, is a statement about the compact disc signed by David Byrne; it is imprinted in small white capitals, as if handwritten, and includes crossouts and corrections. To its left is a vertical listing of the album numbers imprinted in small yellow letters. People appear in the lower half of the room photograph: in the foreground, a woman wearing a striped shirt, who appears to be singing; behind her, several children and another woman; and on the left, a partial view of a man, with upraised arm, dancing.
Insert (booklet) - Recto: This is a reduced version of the packaging recto.
Verso: Here, the same group photograph of the packaging verso shows the people moved to the left, this time with the dancing man's face in view. Production information is imprinted on the upper left and the listing of album numbers is repeated on the right. The fourteen multicolored pages include excerpts from the original album designs for the songs
reproduced in the present cd.

1993-151-429a - The box is fabricated of natural cardboard, with an incised oval on the box top, just to the right of the center, and arch-shaped incisions directly underneath on both sides.

1993-151-429b - When the six-section accordion-fold insert is folded within the closed box, an ivory-colored oval, on the recto, imprinted M&Co (lower case italics)/ Labs (upper case small capitals) and set on a black background, is visible through the incised oval. When removed from the box and unfolded, this section is located second from the left. The neighboring two sections in the center feature a photographic view of an industrial rigging with a tall, thin smokestack on the left. The neighboring section to the right is imprinted bottom to top in the lower half with the company name and address on three lines of ivory sans serif type; this will serve as a mailing label. A broken ivory-colored line is imprinted along the center fold of the rigging view, just past the halfway mark of the page, and continues at a right angle to the right edge of the page. The line marks the borders of a form to be scissored and mailed as directed; on the ivory-background of the verso, this ivory line, repeated in black, encloses a warranty form. In the upper half, just above the form, Waste/ not/ a/ moment, is imprinted within stylized, curved branches on either side; warranty information continues underneath, followed by additional product information in the remaining space.
