If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears is the 1966 debut album by The Mamas & the Papas. Template:RS500

Album covers

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears is one of the few albums to have three separate covers. The first cover featured the group in a bathroom sitting in a bathtub with a toilet in the corner. The album with this cover was pulled from stores after the toilet was declared indecent. The remaining covers featuring the toilet have since become collector's items. A second album cover was then released with a scroll over the toilet listing the hit songs in the album. A third album cover was later released with a closely cropped shot of the band surrounded by a black border that removed any hint that the picture was taken in a bathroom.

The excessive attention to the details of the photo overshadowed the grammatical error in the group's name, as "The Mama's and the Papa's" would mean "The Mama Is and the Papa Is". That error was corrected on future album covers.
