Released in clothbound "hessian" gatefold cover with a white ribbon. Inner-sleeves are die-cut cardboard. The labels are grey on white.


The Joy Division album Still came in a special embossed hessian hardbound sleeve. The sleeve was designed by Peter Saville and included a white ribbon and grey die-cut inner sleeves. Still was released in 1981 on the Factory label. The hessian gatefold cover was clothbound and embossed. The sleeve was based on an image of radio waves from pulsar CP 1919, which is a rotating neutron star. The image was originally created by radio astronomer Harold Craft.
