The album jacket features a full cover color illustration of an ancient Egyptian tomb entrance set into a cliffside beneath a golden pyramid. The pyramid is set against a blue gradiant sky with [EARTH WIND & FIRE] in large letters across the top. Beneath the pyramid, there are two seated golden pharaoh figures seated at either side of the entrance with several smaller golden figures of Isis amidst their feet. There are rows of other small figures in front and behind as well as hieroglyphics. At center is the tomb entrance, with a burning fire in front, an orb of bright light visible from within the tomb. Carved above the entrance is [ALL 'N ALL], with a smaller statue of a standing pharoah set into the design above. The scene is continued on the reverse of the jacket, with a futuristic cityscape set into the same cliffside. The sky appears a deep red to the left of the futurist buildings, with spacecraft rockets rising into the air above. The vinyl record has a red center label with [COLUMBIA] repeated around the outer edge in yellow text and the title, track listing, and copyright notice printed in black at center. there is a Kalimba Productions logo at top center. Each side has four tracks along with "Brazilian Rhyme (Interlude).".
