"Force It" doesn't work very well in the U.S., where in most inflections "force it" and "faucet" don't sound at all alike
It doesn't work in the UK either where no-one uses the word faucet.

Hold on, how do Americans pronounce faucet? Fowse-it? Or force-ay?

I imagine the point is Force It and Faucet don't sound the same... unless you're from Boston.

Not sure what accent they would sound the same in, tbh. The vowel sounds are different, for a start.

Maybe they sound the same in a posh Cambridge accent like the Hipgnosis chaps had.

'British pronunciation' at the top here sounds a) like i would say it and ii) exactly like 'force it':

I'm in the UK and have also always assumed it's pronounced force it (well, force ett but still very similar)

I didn't know Barbra Streisand went though a phase where she decided she was so famous she could just go by "Barbra" and people would know it was her, even without a pic.

To be fair, that one is kind of unavoidable: if you name your album "Circles", and there's nothing circular on the cover, then somebody in the art department was trying to get cute.

Circles is even better than that picture portrays. The vinyl had a die-cut cover around the largest photo of William and it was also a circle, of course.
(Album is decent, btw. Very Bitches Brew and Hendrix-inspired fusion.)
Fleet Foxes Shore is also another one where it's like, "Yeah, what else could possibly go on the cover?"
