    For those who can’t or don’t read at all, this cover illustrates the songs for that purpose. My guess is, the producers intent was to reach as many people as possible and or these songs might just relate to the very young non-readers. My conclusion is drawn by the style of art that appears to be different than the style of graphics. For example, a “student” might have drawn the art work but the “teacher” wrote the titles. I’d like to hear a cut or two if possible. Especially “Scratch My Back”. I’m curious if that version is the same as the Slim Harpo hit. “You know how to do it. So baby, get to it.” :-)

    I believe that the artist might have been Diana Pullinger, an artist residing in the Bahamas at the time.

    Is it possible to buy this cover and the LP? If so where.

    This is my absolute favorite LP & was recently lost in a house fire

    Thanks,
