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?

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.
