From Allen Beaulieu's book, 'Prince: Before the Rain': 'For the album's back cover, they went to the apartment of Prince's girlfriend at the time, Kim [Upsher and then roommate, Lisa Coleman], and Prince got the more literal representation of him on a bed that he had initially wanted for the front. Beaulieu shot Prince on Kim's bed underneath the album's song titles, which Prince spray-painted on the bedroom wall.' • From a fun Facebook video conversation with Sterling James of 102.9 KBLX, Lisa explains: 'Prince spray-painted on my wall, got me in trouble with the landlord - we had to paint the wall over again before we moved out so we could get our security deposit back...Oh, and first he messed it up on this wall (motioning to an imaginary wall), and then he got it right on this wall (motioning to opposing imaginary wall).'
