Description


The Mama's and The Papa's. If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears. ABC-Dunhill Records (DS-50006). 1966. OG 1st US Pressing Vinyl Album with Withdrawn Toilet Bowl Cover. If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears is the debut studio album by the American folk rock vocal group the Mamas & the Papas (stylized as The Mama's and the Papa's), released on February 28, 1966 through Dunhill Records. It is the band's only album to reach number one on the Billboard 200. 
There are Five versions of the album cover produced: No. 1: The original cover (shown at upper right) features the group in a bathroom, sitting in a bathtub with a toilet in the corner. These were pulled from stores after the toilet was judged indecent: since then they have become a collector's item, with one copy selling at an auction for $700. No. 2: Most of the toilet bowl is covered with a scroll listing the presence of "California Dreamin'" on the album. No. 3: Two additional songs from the album are shown on the scroll: "Monday, Monday" and "I Call Your Name". No. 4: Same as No. 3 but with a gold record award blurb added (in black) to the left of the group. No. 5: Black cover with a closely cropped shot of the group that hid the fact that the picture was taken in a bathroom. The cover art was produced and shot by photographer Guy Webster.
