Could someone explain the 'So Tough' cover?

Regarding the cover...yeah, I have a UK copy of a Pet Sounds-less So Tough and I think that one too has the group's name at the top, very subtly.

Regarding the group name that's on the current CD -- that stencil font is actually taken from the longboxes that the 1990 CDs came in. They ALL had The Beach Boys' name in the stencil font face on the front of the longbox. For So Tough they replicated it on the actual cover.

Can I say here that I loved the longbox packaging format? It had a degree of luxuriousness that is a lot higher than the average and very fragile jewel case format itself lacks.

I understand the CATP reference, but what about So Tough ? Was it a song or something about Murry ?

If I remember correctly So Tough is actually a reference to Carl.

No. You cannot say that here. Uh-uh. Sorry.

OK. I will pray the Beads of the Rosemary things to make amends. And rinse my mouth with the meanest gallbladder soap I can find.
