The C.D. cover is simply a folded up small poster 18 1/2" x 9 1/2 " that contains a few pictures, the tracklisting and the words, "Paul is live ... in the new world"

In 1993 Paul embarked on an international tour which he entitled "The New World Tour", although he visited some distinctly old world places !
18th - 23rd February, the first leg was in Europe covering just Italy and Germany.

5th - 27th March, the second stage WAS the New World ... Australia and New Zealand.

14th April - 15th June, the third leg covers North America.

3rd September - 27th October, the fourth leg, back in Europe but a wider selection ... Germany, Austria, England, Sweden, Norway, Holland, France, Belgium, and Spain.

12th November - 16th December, final leg covers Japan, Mexico, and Brazil. Only three days into this stage is when the album is actually released, hence none of the later dates are included in the track list.

On the cover appears the following warning :
WARNING:
Tracks 22 and 24 were improvised at
soundcheck and therefore might not be
suitable for people of a critical disposition.
