The final track on the first pressing of the album and B-side to "Kool & The Gang" - or was it, I have three points to make about this.
Firstly the track written solely by Gene Redd is the perfect counter balance for "Kool & The Gang" which was written solely by Kool & The Gang (except "Since I Lost My Baby" all other tracks are written by Kool & The Gang-Gene Redd), but please note that this track is called "Raw Hamburger" (the singular) while the B-side to "Kool & The Gang" is called "Raw Hamburgers" (the plural) now this could easily be a mistake but it is a mistake that could imply a difference and has not been corrected in the thirty years since the single and album were released.
Secondly the track is so much longer then most singles and begs the question of how they managed to fit a B-side this much longer then the A-side.
Finally the comment about last track on the album I will come to later but it is not difficult two see that the above observation could be taken as very suspicious by a ignorant fan who knows nothing about recording music on vinyl.

Another thing I think I should tell you is the Bass and the left guitar may be the wrong way around.
