The packaging features an eight-page booklet with liner notes by Malcolm Walker, a brief autobiographical note by the conductor, a brief (uncredited!) biographical note about the same, the Walt Whitman text featured in "Toward The Unknown Region," a brief note concerning the recording, and color front and back covers, the former featuring a reproduction of a painting by an unidentified artist, and the latter featuring a photo of the composer.
