OK. I'm looking at my record and it has the same exact artists but in the
front cover it has "The Rebirth of Cool Six" with a black woman and a
black child being sprayed by a fire hydrant. Is that the same one as
yours? Mine has the Jungle Brothers' remix of "Who could it be". Is this
the same record?

Hmmm...I'd sure like to clear that up since I'm definitely looking into
getting some of the older releases of this series.
