Reiner Design Consultants was the design company that created the cover for Ween's Chocolate and Cheese.

Originally envisioned by Gene Ween (Aaron Freeman), the cover was a take-off of old Ohio Players album covers, like Honey. Dean Ween thought that the belt should look like a boxing belt from the 70's (and he now claims to hold the belt).

The Beastie Boys rented this house in Los Angeles while working on Paul's Boutique after their stint at the Mondrian Hotel. The G-Spot nickname came from the large gold "G" on the front of the building which presumably stood for the house's owner Marilyn Grasshoff. They would end up raiding her closet for the '70s clothes they wore in the video for "Hey Ladies."

The photo of the Beastie Boys underwater was shot by photographer Ricky Powell from Ad-Rock's underground guesthouse bedroom that featured a window into the swimming pool.
