The back of the cover features a text written by James Brown titled "Brand New Sound".^{[citation needed]}

"Sometimes the serpent of the devil is

so strong, it takes the bodyheat of

God to keep him away. So do good,

think good and you'll be good to your

fellow man- and to all humanity.

Listen to this album. Not only will the

spiritual feeling get to you, but the

'groove' will, too.

Undying Dedication To You,

JAMES BROWN

(With the feeling of a new

beginning... A New Sound!)"
