This is an original 1960 album cover by James Brown.  This ultra rare 1st pressing cover to James's third LP " Think " (683) is from the King label.  This is the original version with a baby's picture on the front cover.  This was only out for a short time before it was changed to it's much more common version.  It's hard to put a definitive grade on the cover (around a VG or VG- more or less ), but I will try to describe it as best I can and will be glad to answer any questions.  The top and bottom seams are half split on the right sides, but the spine is completely intact and in great shape.  There has been some water damage which has caused some light staining around all the edges on the front except for half way up the left side and half way across the bottom side from the bottom left corner. Near the top right corner on the front the paper is wrinkled and coming unglued from the cardboard base.  If you look at the picture you can tell that all that sounds worse than it really appears.  The back has the same staining pattern as the front, but more, especially on the top forth and around the bottom left corner.  The paper has come unglued from the cardboard base around the top left corner on the back.   Any of the first three original LP covers are crazy hard to find in any shape.  So I know this one has it's issues, but just try to find them.
