Eric Clapton / Portrait of
Japan ONLY LP


RSO MW 5005

Appendices: “Portrait Cover w/ Front Panel" & “Insert”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY album ( released in 1973 ) of Eric Clapton, comin' with very unique "Portrait-Cover". As title indicates, the front-cover is just like "portrait" of Eric Clapton, with the rims higher than inside ( See photo ). It's like a framed picture. And a portrait panel with a stand is also in the frame. A stand is attached to the back-side of the panel. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Told you for the last time, Don’t know why, Have you ever loved a woman, Nobody knows you where you’re down and out

Side B: Lovin’ you lovin’ me, Tell the truth, Bad boy, Bell bottom blues


Condition: VG/EX ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for discolored spine-edge. It’s stained with brown spots in places on the surface of back and around rims of front ( especially the back side of panel…See photo ). The surface of front panel and the front picture of cover are with a few scrape lines. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side, with a slight line of scuff on Side A. There’re several spindle-marks with spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX".

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: G, being aged and creased with brown spots on the surface of each side.
