May 21, 1966 –
Mamas and the Papas debut album, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, was No. 1 on the Billboard Charts, on this date.
Collectors take note: If you can find the original album with the cover showing the toilet in the bathroom photo, it’s worth big bucks. The initial cover was pulled because showing a picture of a toilet was considered indecent in 1966. Later shots showed the group piled in the same bathtub, but with a scroll to the side pasted over the toilet and listing hit singles from the album. Still later covers have the bathroom cropped out completely.
