art director frank olinsky led the conception of the cover designs. the young blonde-haired girl pictured to the right on the album's cover was coco hayley moore, thurston moore and kim gordon's daughter, picking strawberries with her friend, stella, who was on the left. no title was shown on the cover, just a scrawled "sonic youth". the three-page, double-sided cd booklet, whose cover featured a reverse color image of the cd cover, included liner notes, photographs and album credits. the back cover depicted the murray street street sign.
