Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas' "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears" Boots, 1967
Michelle Phillips wore these boots on the cover of the Mamas and the Papas' debut album, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, in 1966.
If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears includes the hits "Monday, Monday," "California Dreamin'" and "Go Where You Wanna Go." The inclusion of the toilet in the album cover photograph was deemed offensive and later pressings removed it, making earlier versions highly collectible.
