The original album simply featured a photograph of Frank Zappa and his band against a black background with blue lettering, but upon discovering that the photograph had been used without the permission of the photographer, Bruce Malone, Zappa simply continued issuing the cover with the photograph replaced with an empty black space. When the album was remastered and reissued worldwide in 1995 by
Rykodisc, it featured artwork by long-time Zappa artist
Cal Schenkel that had been created for the album's original Japanese release. The
Japanese kanji at the top of the sign on this version do not together form any meaningful sentence to a speaker of Japanese, but can be read with the
on readings of fu-ran-ku-za-pa, an approximation of Frank Zappa in Japanese sounds. Schenkel used characters from his artwork on the cover of Zappa's 1972 release
The Grand Wazoo, such as Stu (AKA Uncle Meat) and a man from the playing a Mystery Horn. In addition there is a red sofa, that while not an exact duplicate, is reminiscent of the red sofa from his art on Zappa's 1975
One Size Fits All. In 2012, when the album was reissued for a second time, it reverted the cover to the version featuring a blank space in place of the photograph. == Track listing ==
