The cover was drawn by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb after the band's original cover idea, a picture of the group naked in bed together, was dropped by the record company. The cover was originally meant to be the record's back picture but the band did not like Crumb's original front drawing. It is number nine on Rolling Stone's list of one hundred greatest album covers.
Initially, the album was to be called Sex, Dope and Cheap Thrills, but the title was not received well by Columbia Records.
