Ben (Album - Rat Cover)

On August 4th,1972 appears in the US the second solo album of Michael Jackson "Ben". Title song "Ben" is at the same time also title song of the movie "Ben".
The album became by the way the first nr. 1 hit in America of Michael's solo career. With this album had convinced Michael us as solo artist.

This is the first get-up of "Ben", on the foreground of the cover stands a rat, the cover was been changed because parents found it to terrifying for their children. From then there was only standing a picture of Michael on it without rats.
This album is one of the most collector items by the fans and therefore rare to find.
The song "Ben" belongs to one of the favourites.
