The front sleeve depicts a snapshot of the band – from left, they are Carl, Brian, and Dennis Wilson; Mike Love; and Al Jardine – feeding pieces of apples to seven goats at the San Diego Zoo. Bruce Johnston, who joined the band as an unofficial member one year earlier, does not appear on the cover due to contractual restraints from Columbia Records. The photo was taken on February 10, 1966 by photographer George Jerman. Local reporters from CBS News 8 filmed the shoot, although the crew's footage was lost and later rediscovered in 2021. The sleeve's header was written in the Cooper Black typeface.
