Fingerprint: Singer in white star-and-rhinestone suit with red flower lei and black pompadour, gold microphone to open mouth dominating centre-right, "THE" and "KING" in red block letters with hair between, four score windows with colour-coded player tabs (1UP to 4UP), four fashionably dressed women left side, portrait medallions lower-left, bubbles along top, 1970s airbrushed illustration
The single most memorable element is the huge singer in a white, star-and-rhinestone covered suit with a thick red flower lei, black pompadour hair, gold microphone held to his open mouth, filling the centre-right of the glass. A second striking feature is the red block-letter title split wide apart at the top, 'THE' left and 'KING' right, with the performer's hair filling the gap between the words. Also distinctive are the four blank score windows framed directly into the artwork, each with its own coloured 1UP/2UP/3UP/4UP tab, and the row of flat coloured bubbles along the top edge. The cluster of four fashionably dressed women watching from the left and the four tiny round portrait medallions at bottom left are further memorable details.

Rectangular backglass in a plain light wood-grain frame, printed area on white. Across the top, large block capital lettering in red with a white and dark outline reads 'THE' at upper left and 'KING' at upper right, the space between blocked by a central head. A scatter of flat coloured circles and dots (red, dark blue, gold, green, orange) runs along the top edge like bubbles. Dominating the centre-right is a large half-length portrait of a dark-haired man in three-quarter profile facing left, mouth open as if singing, thick black pompadour hair, wearing a white suit jacket densely covered in gold stars, coloured gem dots and sequins, with a heavy red flower lei. He holds a gold-topped microphone up to his mouth. At the right edge a blonde woman in profile, arm raised, leans in behind his shoulder. Four separate women are grouped at the left: one in a yellow top at the back, one in a green jacket with a red scarf, one in a red jacket, and one in a brown top and blue jeans with a hand raised to her head. Four blank white rectangular score windows with black and coloured borders are set into the art, each paired with a coloured 1UP/2UP/3UP/4UP tab. Bottom left carries '1 to 4 CAN PLAY' above four small round portrait medallions. Style is airbrushed, glossy 1970s illustrative realism.
