Rory Gallagher / Portrait of
Japan ONLY LP


Polydor MP 5007

Appendices: "Portrait Cover" & “Insert”
( OBI & FRONT-PANEL are missing )

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY compilation album or Rory Gallagher ( released in 1973 ), comin' with very unique "Portrait-Cover". As title indicates, the front-cover is just like "portrait" of Rory, with the rims higher than inside ( See photo ). It's like a framed picture. Have you ever seen such an unique cover for Rory? Though obi & front-panel are missing ( as usual with this album ), it still remains rare even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Use to be, I’m not awake yet, Don’t know where I’m going, Should’ve learned my lesson, Going to my home town

Side B: Messing with the kid, In your town, Bullfrog blues


Condition: VG/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for worn corners, spine & partly other outer-edges. It’s stained with minor brown spots on the surface of back and “portrait” of front. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK. Front-panel is missing.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs on Side B with a light scratch on Side B-2 ( inaudible ). There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "EX-". No flaw on the groove of Side A.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: EX, being lightly rippled on the surface of each side.
