Is the "Rick James" text actually a font? If so, anybody know which one? This record was released in 1979, if that helps any.

Burnt MF  Suggested by rocamaco 

Probably Screen Printed. or Hand Written, Since it was 1979. THEREFOR. no FONT

Thanks again, Rocamaco! Just saw another album cover while I was crate digging that used the same font, so I knew it wasn't hand written. The "S" and the "A" are identical.
