Henry Diltz and Gary Burden:
The pair were close friends and collaborators. Diltz remembers about the making of this album, that because Gary "was an architect, he was used to working with different materials. So when we went to print, when he had that album cover printed, he called the printers. He said, "I want you to turn the paper over and print on the uncoated side of the paper," because all album covers were glossy. And they said, "Well, wait, we can't do that. I mean, it's going to soak up the ink. We never printed on the uncoated side." He said, "I don't care. I want you to do it." Well, it turned out to be so wonderful because if you remember that album cover—it's a foldout album of them sitting on the couch in front of the old house—it's got a texture to it. It's got a matte feel to it. It's not glossy. It's got a texture. So it went along with sort of their organic, wooden music kind of a thing".
