The album cover is equally famous: A huge banana against a solid white background, designed by Creator/AndyWarhol. On the original record cover, the banana was a sticker that could be peeled off, revealing a pink, naked banana underneath. This was later nodded to in the title of their box set ''Peel Slowly and See'', which featured a replica of the original banana sticker.
