The cover depicts Bush in the warrior costume she sports during the music video for one of the tracks, "Babooshka."
Bush commented on the release: "Quite honestly, I don't think I would have chosen those five. It has very much to do with the record company and what they see a market for. I did want Sat In Your Lap to be on there. It's also quite nice to get the French song on there 'cause I quite like that."[4]
