The story of "Whipped Cream"

Behind the Racy Cover of Herb Alpert's 'Whipped Cream & Other Delights'

Herb Alpert's 1965 album, 'Whipped Cream & Other Delights,' caused quite a stir upon its release because of its now iconic cover.

The Whipped Cream cover will certainly outlast the recently deceased Pat Cooper Spaghetti Sauce cover. I think (repeat think) I read that Herb wasn't happy with all those parody covers.

Pat Cooper was really funny - he referred to himself as Pasquale Caputo. He used to be on the Mike Douglas Show a lot.

Ooooh, and it's in HIGH FIDELITY! 😁 Nice job!

I am actually getting away from having album covers in my family/listening room, but I had often wanted to swap the covers out for the original Whipped Cream jacket and several of the knockoffs, if I could find clean copies.

I'm sure these have all been posted and seen before out here in A&M Cornerland...but, just to give the old kettle a fresh stir:

I have never seen any of these spoof covers before but they are hilarious.

I remember when my Mom bought this album. I thought the cover was such a hoot. A lady covered covered in whipped cream. How silly, I thought!

Mom did like that trumpet!

One surprising fact that nobody ever mentions in Whipped-Cream-cover-related articles: The vast majority of what's covering Delores isn't whipped cream OR shaving cream. It's a white blanket, with strategically-placed globs of cream on it.

I'd read that somewhere also, many years ago. (The common trivia is like you say--shaving cream.) I couldn't see Herb there at the photo shoot, emptying can after can of Barbasol on a model. 😁 And the camera doesn't care--if it pulls off the illusion of whipped cream, it's all good.
