The Big Picture was commercially released by Atlantic Records in 1988 exclusively as a 7" vinyl single in a generic picture sleeve. Two versions of a promotional 7" vinyl were also released, one with lite blue labels and one with dark blue labels. A 12" promotional vinyl single was also issued with an accompanying picture sleeve. The song was a commercial failure and received absolutely no critical comment.
A video clip for The Big Picture was shot by Marty Callner. The only band member to appear in it is Tori Amos. it is typical of the era, featuring a scantily clad Amos cavorting and wreaking havoc on a soundstage made to resemble the back alleys of Los Angeles. It is notable for a narrative introductory bit during which Amos's underwear is stolen out of her car by a police officer.
