Reissued by Juggernaut Records. The front of the album cover features a photographic portrait of the group printed on a background that blends from orange at the top to bright pink at the bottom. Across the top is the text [THE ORIGINAL LAST POETS], with "The Last Poets" in large solid black text, with "Original" in smaller solid white text at a diagonal across the bottom of the "H" and "E" in "THE." This is followed by [FROM THE HIT MOVIE] in smaller solid white text and [RIGHT ON!] in large text with shaded black outlines. The portrait of the three members of the group is in the center, David Nelson, Felipe Luciano, and Gylan Kain. All three members are pictured standing.
