The one Cobain really wanted was a picture a birth which was deemed too graphic. Also consider this album wasn’t expected to be anywhere close to the success it was in terms of sales. They ran out of copies for a little bit soon after it was released.
Geffen was hoping it could sell maybe 200,000 copies globally to a mainly underground/indie audience and it wouldn’t get picked up by the mainstream. For the follow up album the band agreed to change a song name and modify album art so Wal-Mart would carry it.
