The album's iconic cover, photographed by Daniel Kramer, features Sally Grossman, the wife of Dylan's manager Albert Grossman, lounging in the background, while artifacts scattered around the frame include LPs by Robert Johnson and Eric Von Schmidt. The album is usually reported to be the first Columbia LP release not to feature a list of the album's songs displayed on the front cover, a major departure from industry practice.
