The Black Crowes - Amorica - Controversial Album Cover

The Black Crowes - Amorica - Released November 1, 1994

This is their third studio album. The title is a supposed play on the word amoral and America.  

The jacket is the pubic region of a woman wearing an American flag bikini with pubic hair billowing out the top.  It's on unverified photo of a Sasquatch. 

There was some concern at first that it may be a man doing a tuck and roll, but those rumors were (sass) quashed when it was revealed that the image is actually the cover of  the 1976 Super Bicentennial Edition of the Hustler men's magazine. 

It was banned from the big chain stores like Walmart and K-mart, so The Crowes released the black cover. The black cover was only issued as a CD or Cassette, since that was the only thing they carried at the time.  All subsequent re-issues have the original image.
