Bee Gees / Portrait of
Japan ONLY LP


RSO MW 5002

Appendices: “Shaped OBI”, “Portrait Cover w/ Front Panel", “Insert” & “Shrink-Wrap”

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY album ( released in 1973 ) of Bee Gees, comin' with complete appendices. As title indicates, the front-cover is just like "portrait" of members, with the rims higher than inside. It's like a framed picture. And a front panel can stand with foldable stands on its back-side. Regarding this copy, a framed picture cover & front panel are in the “shrink-wrap”, which is open only at the right-edge. It’s very hard to find even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Massachusetts, Holiday, First of May, Started a joke, Tomorrow tomorrow, To love somebody, I’ve gotta get a message to you

Side B: Sea of smiling faces, Two years on, Israel, I can bring love, South Dakota morning, Come home Johnny Bride, Saw a new morning


Condition: VG/EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, being kept in the “shrink-wrap”. Shrink-wrap is open at the right-edge and torn short in the left bottom corner of back side. Cover itself is stained with spots along the rims of right-edge ( See photos ). Otherwise no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A slight scuff mark is on Side B. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". Though there’re minor scuff marks on the “inner groove” of Side B, it’s not music surface. Anyway no flaw on the groove of Side A…clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: NM, being mostly kept in the “shrink-wrap”.

INSERT: VG, being slightly tanned with minor brown spots in part on the surface of each side.
