This record sleeve was used for packaging Roy Orbison's single Crawling Back / If You Can't Say Something Nice.  MGM's logo appears in a teal blue while their slogan is in green. These same colors appear in the packaging's graphic of 4 overlapping circles with a color multiply appearance.  These circles are the same diameter of a 45's label.  The record label utilizes MGM's classic lion logo in a gold saturated print. The MGM logotype is filled with a rainbow pattern, with the top of the color spectrum appearing at the bottom of the logo.
