Eric Clapton / Portrait of
Japan ONLY LP


RSO MW 5005

Appendices: “Portrait Cover" & “Insert”
( FRONT-PANEL & OBI are 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 w/ Ron Wood, with the rims higher than inside ( See photo ). It's like a framed picture. Have you ever seen such an unique cover for Eric Clapton ? Though obi & front-panel ( as usual with this album ) are missing, it still remains rare even in my 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/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s scraped & stained on the surface of back and around rims of front. Picture on the front has some scratches on its surface. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK. Front-panel is missing.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs including slight scratches on each side. A scratch is on Side A-1~2 and B-1~2 ( inaudible ).
