The album was recorded live in at the Roundabout Theatre in New York City on January 22-25, 1986. Jackson's intent was to capture the excitement and spontaneity of a live performance, but without any interference from the crowd. The audience remains silent during the recording per Jackson's request, so no applause is heard in the recording. The music was mixed live from microphones on each instrument and then recorded directly into a stereo digital tape recorder. Unlike most live recordings, no post-recording mixing or overdubbing was performed. Therefore the music heard on the album is exactly as it was played live during the concert performances. A Top 40 album, Big World is currently out of print. Among many critics, however, it is highly regarded.
The LP release of this title is a double album, but only has music on three sides. The fourth side label proclaims "there is no music on this side", and the record has a groove that quickly leads to the inner bump track. Also, the song "Wild West" contains a musical reference to the theme from "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly".
In respect of the album cover-art, the different languages used to write "Big World" are the French, Arabic, English, Greek,German, Hindi, Armenian, Japanese, Hebrew and Russian amongst others.
