Issued with obi in gatefold sleeve with 2 inserts: a glossy 10-page fold out booklet + single-page double-sided black and white Japanese information sheet. Last 4 pages of the 10-page booklet fold out into a double-sided poster of MJ (standing in purple tracksuit/reclining in white suit with tiger cub).

Blue obi features a gold star and black box; the gold star advertises "The Girl is Mine", "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" as being 3 major hit singles, thus indicating a repress.
