Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mothers Milk

The 1989 Mother's Milk album cover by Red Hot Chili Peppers, photographed by James White, features band members sprawled across a large, nude female model, inspired by a 1960s Sly Stone poster. The design represents a celebration of femininity and motherhood, though it was partially censored in some markets due to its provocative nature. 

The album Mother's Milk is the fourth studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, acting as a critical, transitional, and commercial turning point. Following the death of guitarist Hillel Slovak and departure of drummer Jack Irons, this album marked the debut of the band's, now classic, lineup: Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith. It propelled the band from cult status to mainstream recognition, featuring hits like a cover of Stevie Wonder’s "Higher Ground" and "Knock Me Down," and achieved their first gold record.
