Although the essential artwork on the album covers issued in the United States and Great Britain are similar, there are a few subtle differences on the sleeves. The front of the British jacket contains the words "NOTHING IS REAL" in green print just below the album's title. This subtitle had been omitted from the American album cover.
On the back of the cover, the British album contained a review of the Beatles' "White Album" written for the London Observer by Tony Palmer.
The two album covers (and record labels) also differ in the fact that the British version recognizes seven tracks from the film's score on Side Two, while the American version only recognizes six tracks, treating the songs "Sea of Times" and "Sea of Holes" as a single track, entitled "Sea of Time & Sea of Holes."
One final difference is that the American album was only released in stereo, while the British album was available in both stereo and mono.
