This was a pretty standard style cover art and flyer art around the time for what bands like TAD in the late 80’s and early 90’s were exposing, the dystopian, reflection of the trashy Americana theme. What’s interesting about this cover was that it was from a late 70’s photo image discovered by one of the Sub Pop guys in a thrift store, band and label later thought it’d make a good cover. After it was released, a friend of the groped woman in the bandana style bikini spotted the record and then mentioned it to her. She’d become born again Christian ashamed of her past and threatened to sue the band unless they discontinued it and ceased pressing. They complied and were left with a bit of a rushed job.
