One of my favourite rap albums of all time. I've always wondered why there are seven people on the cover. Does anyone know who the seventh member is?

Record sleeve is 2mm smaller than a standard (US/UK) sleeve. Bit annoying.

I hesitated to buy this multiple times, mainly because I got all the original many singles on it, but still would be nice to have this LP and it's still easy to find, but how is the quality please ?

An important release for hip hop as well as electro. Although it is a culmination of some of their singles, released before this, and some new stuff it is so important. When was the last time you heard an album that had a song as good as "the Message" and then a song as good as "Scorpio"(remember this is 1982)? ....I thought so.
