What do you get when you mix Eric Clapton, a photographer haunted by his last shoot, and a spaceship that might be a metaphor—or something far weirder? You get Blind Faith—a band, an album, and an album cover that still makes people squirm. In this episode, we tell the story of how a chance subway encounter, an unrealized promise of a horse, and a very different 1969 sensibility led to one of rock’s most infamous images. It’s a lot.

What happens when an album cover drops before the album and instantly splits the internet in two? Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend hasn’t even been released, but its provocative cover has people clutching pearls, raising fists, and typing furiously. Is it feminist satire or glossy submission? Bold art or marketing genius? Or is it just the most photogenic Rorschach test we’ve seen this year? We unpack the outrage, the commentary, the history—and the hair-pulling. Grab a copy and listen along with us. Questions, comments, recommendations? We’d love to hear from you at Albumartthecoverstories@gmail.com or check out our Spotify Song List with one track from each album we’ve covered: Spotify Playlist.

Six clean-cut Californians feeding goats at the zoo. That’s the cover. But nothing about Pet Sounds is as innocent as it looks. Behind those matching jackets and polite smiles is a man chasing god through a four-track recorder. Brian Wilson wasn’t trying to make hits—he was trying to make sense. This album is the sound of a beautiful mind fraying at the edges, and the cover? A postcard from the edge just before the fall. Grab a copy and listen along with us.
