A giant grinning yellow sun face with heavy-lidded eyes beaming in the lower left corner.

A brightly coloured cartoon backglass. Upper left: a large grey-brown wooden drum head, like a bass drum, ringed by curved cream-and-red lettering reading Al's Garage Band Goes On A, with the big title WORLD TOUR in tall red block capitals outlined in dark green and black with pale inner highlights, stacked in two lines on the drum face. The rest of the ground is deep purple-blue night sky scattered with yellow smiling five-pointed stars with black outlines. A grinning yellow sun with heavy-lidded eyes and a wide toothy grin sits at lower left. A green-necked red electric flying-guitar-guitar sweeps diagonally across the centre, its body carved like a globe with skyline silhouettes (grey tower, domed building, red brick tower) and small national flags - Union Jack, Italian tricolour, French tricolour, Dutch red-white-blue, Finnish white with blue cross, German black-red-gold, Japanese white with red disc. Upper right, a red flying carpet carries three young people: a laughing long-haired guitarist in blue with a raised arm, a blonde woman in a green top with an outstretched arm, and a partly hidden red-clad figure. A brown suitcase covered in travel stickers sits at the right edge.

A giant grinning yellow sun face with eyelashes fills the left edge of the art, and a smiling teal planet with a face floats at the right. The bottom quarter is a globe map packed with individually drawn world landmarks and a scatter of national flags under puffy white cloud.

Full description

Translucent backglass in a purple-magenta outer border with a speckled violet night sky filling the upper panel. Upper left, a pale cream circular disc carries the main title in two stacked lines of tall condensed block capitals, red with green shading and a black outline, under an arched ribbon of yellow-and-red lettered text. Upper right-centre, a wild-haired bespectacled older man in a blue jacket and striped trousers rides a red flying carpet strewn with fanned playing cards, clutching a blonde woman in a yellow top, green-striped leggings and heavy black boots who reaches forward in alarm. She has a red feathered bird hooked over her shoulder. The carpet's leading edge curls into a long green-and-teal peacock-feather streamer. Dozens of yellow five-pointed stars with grinning cartoon faces scatter the sky; a huge grinning yellow sun face with eyelashes fills the left edge, and a small smiling teal planet sits right. A red laser beam streaks horizontally across the top from a small keyhole-like fitting. The lower third is a globe of white clouds and blue-green sea studded with world landmarks: Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, a domed capitol, the Sydney Opera House, a torii gate, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and national flags of Britain, the USA, Australia, France, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, China and a rainbow-striped flag. A separate dark blue instruction panel at the base carries a red alphanumeric score display showing partial letters, a cream script signature reading Alvin G. & Co., two large black speaker grilles, and rows of chrome rotary knobs.
