The cover was

 photographed at

 the Sunset Highland Motel,

 6830 Sunset Boulevard

 in 

Hollywood, California, 

across the street 

from

 Hollywood High School.


Title

The title alludes

 to the slogan

 "The family that prays 

together stays together", 

created by

 ad-writer 

Al Scalpone

 for the

 Family Rosary Crusade

 and popular

 in American

 and

 British parlance 

beginning in the 1940s.

 During this time

 the band lived

 together in a house

 in

 Topanga, California, 

near

 Los Angeles. 

The title was

 also inspired by

 the stepson-stepfather

 relationship

 between

 lead guitarist

RANDY CALIFORNIA

 and

 percussionist 

Ed Cassidy.
