Too Much Joy “...Finally”
Greenberg Kingsley, New York, New York, 1996
Description
The band wanted an R. Crumb drawing of a post-coital couple. He turned us down so we hired his favorite cartoonist, Doug Allen, creator of Steven.
Discovery stretched the budget and allowed us to include the fold-down that opens to expose the couple’s naked bodies under the covers. Our only requirement was to produce a sanitized version for WalMart-type retail outlets. In this version, the couple is wearing underwear. Legions of the band’s cult following now had reason to buy the album twice.
