Additional information:
On June 29, 2009 the original photography credited to Elliot Joseph Hernandez was added as on the original LP and CD. Mr. Hernandez died in 1991 and was also the still photographer on Stephen Spielberg's Amblin, as well as for Genesis (Brit. Rock Group). The hat worn on the rear cover of the ABC album by the young Michael Jackson as he sat perched on a park jungle gym belonged to Mr. Hernandez from his days in the army and contains pins from world travels. Mr. Speilberg wore the same hat in stills taken by Mr. Hernandez of the young Spielberg directing his first student film, Amblin. Mr. Spielberg asked to keep the hat in the hope that the good luck of Jackson had some possibility of affecting him as a young aspiring student director. Mr. Hernandez generously gave this hat to Stephen. Jackson grew up to become the most successful single performer in the history of pop music, and Mr. Spielberg, the world's most successful film director. Since there are no comments on the history of this Jackson 5 album - please retain this post in discussion for future elaboration by those with additional information.
