That's my favorite too. I'm curious to know where that bathroom was, and does it still exist. It looks to be a public restroom.
The photo is somewhat reminiscent of the album cover of The Mamas & Papas first album, which featured all of the group piled in a house bathroom bathtub, with a toilet on the side. Soon after the release, because of conservative standards, subsequent issues of the album cover obscured the seemingly visually offending toilet. Years later the exposed toilet cover became a highly sought collectible since it was only briefly commercially available. I'm a big Mamas & Papas fan, and proud owner of an original 1966 toilet cover!
The complex volatile relationships and dramas in this group are a precursor to those of Fleetwood Mac. Fortunately, Fleetwood Mac prevailed, The Mamas & Papas imploded after only three years.
