[edit] The cover

The cover was designed by George Hunter and painted by Kent Hollister based on the cover of a housekeeping magazine from around 1900[1]. The cover used an old version of the Columbia logo that George Hunter felt was fitted with the feel of the rest of the cover[1]. The album cover is number 24 on Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest album covers.
