( Osmond Brothers ) Osmonds / Portrait of
Japan ONLY LP


MGM MM 5001

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

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY album ( released in 1973 ) of Osmonds, comin' with very unique "Portrait-Cover". As title indicates, the front-cover is just like "portrait" of Osmonds, with the rims higher than inside ( See photo ). It's like a framed picture. Have you ever seen such an unique cover for Osmonds? And a front panel can stand with foldable stands on its back-side ( See photo ). It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side B: One bad apple, Motown special, Girl, Utah, Lonesome they call me lonesome I am, That’s my girl, Donw by the lazy river
