Bee Gees / Portrait of
Japan ONLY LP


RSO MW 5002

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

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 ( See photo ). It's like a framed picture. Have you ever seen such an unique cover for Bee Gees? And a front panel can stand with foldable stands on its back-side ( See photo ). It’s very hard ton fine 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+/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly stained ( discolored ) around the rims of each side. The panel is clean on the front, but lightly stained on the back. Otherwise no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs including slight hairline & scratch in places on each side. There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG+". All flaws are so light that it plays strong on each side.

OBI: VG+, being creased in the left bottom corner of front and lightly on the surface of each side.

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