  • Blooper: Early CD pressings of Night and Day by Matsushita mistakenly use a rejected custom CD logo that A&M Records considered for their releases on the format. Such copies cover up the mistake by slapping on a white sticker with the industry standard Compact Disc logo. This error is also present on early Matsushita CDs for Bryan Adams' Cuts like a Knife, Quincy Jones' The Dude, and The Police's Synchronicity (with the error also being present on some CSR Compact Disc pressings of the latter).
  • Creator Backlash: Jackson notoriously detested the cover of Look Sharp!, which depicts his feet standing in a beam of sunlight. Jackson wanted to feature his Face on the Cover, and when he saw what actually got used, he vowed to never work with the photographer, Brian Griffin, again. Jackson then made sure that his next album, I'm the Man, actually depicted his face on it.
  • Similarly Named Works: Both Jackson and Music/Sparks have a song called "Amateur Hour", though Sparks' is better known.
