 The cover was designed by Trevor Key, who designed the cover for "Tubular Bells" and many other Oldfield and Virgin albums.The back shows a colour photo of 2 frogs mating; a typical example of the Virgin label's naughty sense of humour at the time.Just as "Tubular Bells" was Virgin's first album (or, to be precise, one of three albums released on the same day), "Mike Oldfield's Single" was Virgin's first UK single, but issued more than a year later.
