Here's one I stumbled on in my collection. Didn't know it was Grand Funk because the LP makes no mention of it until you pull out the vinyl.

I'll post a picture, but on the cover it says This is Madness - The Last Poets. On the bottom of the cover, it says Douglas 7 The number on the cover is JS-006

Nothing but Japanese writing on the back cover, so this appears to be a Japan import.

You pull out the vinyl, and it has JS-005 on it. No album name It is however an import label, lots of Japanese writing. All it says in English is Full Frequency Range Recording.

The track list is

Country Road
All You Ve Got is Money (not a typo, that's what it says)
Comfort Me
Feelin Alright

I want freedom
I can feel him in the morning
Gimmie Shelter

From what I'm thinking, looks like an import that is either the wrong cover, or the wrong LP...

You think this might be worth anything? I can't find anything about it on the web or in my Goldmine.

Donn't know about that cover, but the LP is titled Survival. The U.S issue has a picture of the band as cavemen on the cover.

Yup...wrong cover and I assume an import or bootleg of the album. They were on Capitol.

The Grand Funk LP is from Survival and the jacket is from a band called The Last Poets, the album is This is Madness from 1971.
