Surfer Rosa's cover features a photograph of a topless "friend of a friend" of the band, posing as a flamenco dancer, pitched against a wall which displays a crucifix and a torn poster. Simon Larbalestier, who contributed pictures to all of the Pixies albums, decided to build the set because "we couldn't find the atmosphere we wanted naturally." According to Larbalestier, Francis came up with the idea for the cover as he wrote songs in his father's "topless Spanish bar"; Larbalestier added the crucifix and torn poster, and they "sort of loaded that with all the Catholicism."[26] Commenting on the cover in 2005, Francis said, "I just hope people find it tasteful."[27] The cover booklet expands on the theme, and features photographs of the flamenco dancer in several other poses; there are no song lyrics or written content, apart from album credits, in the booklet.
Albini's name does not appear on the original record sleeve. The booklet's photographs were taken in one day at a pub opposite the 4AD offices, because, according to Larbalestier, "it was one of the few places that had a raised stage".[26] In an 1988 interview with Joy Press, Francis described the concept as referring to "a surfer girl," who "walks along the Beach of Binones, has a surfboard, very beautiful." When questioned about the topless element, Francis replied "For the first record, I told them I liked nudity. I like body lines - not necessarily something in bad taste, didn't even have to be female, just body lines... like that Obsession ad, you know?"[13] According to Melody Maker, the album was originally entitled "Gigantic," after Deal's song, but the band feared misintepretation of the cover and changed it to "Surfer Rosa."[28] The "name" of the cover woman, and the album title, comes from the "Oh My Golly!" lyric, "Besando chichando con surfer rosa."

It's the new cover for the 24K Gold Master reissue. Rosa on PixieSteve's cock. At least that's the cover he made in photoshop ;)

The record store I bought mine at in Buttfuck, Pennsylvania had put all the price stickers over her boobs.
Will I ever reach 1000?
