Thx for clarifying that...for some reason i had The Beatles on my brain..

I can't even recall Blind Faith, even with all those huge names.

Just did a check on wikipedia and they have the actual album cover uncensored
--------
The release of the album provoked controversy because the cover featured a topless pubescent girl, holding in her hands a hood ornament from a 1957 Oldsmobile, which some perceived as phallic. The U.S. record company issued it with an alternate cover which showed a photograph of the band on the front.

The cover art was created by photographer Bob Seidemann, a personal friend and former flatmate of Clapton's who is primarily known for his photos of Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. In the mid-1990s, in an advertising circular intended to help sell lithographic reprints of the famous album cover, he explained his thinking behind the image.

Seidemann wrote that he approached a girl reported to be 14 years old on the London Tube about modeling for the cover, and eventually met with her parents, but that she proved too old for the effect he wanted. Instead, the model he used was her younger sister, who was reported to be 11 years old. Her modeling fee, according to Seidemann, was "a young horse" purchased for her by band manager Robert Stigwood
