Layout
The layout was made by Felix Schlüter instead of the designer Schwarwel who designed for Die Ärzte since 1993.
The package is a carton box like the package of the album Jazz ist anders. Inside the box is a Party game: The CD is a turntable, three crown corks are the figures and the booklet is the game field.
