( Marc Bolan ) T. REX / Portrait of
Japan ONLY COMPILATION LP


Polydor MP 5003

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

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY compilation album ( released in 1973 ), comin' with very unique "Portrait Cover". As title indicates, the front-cover is just like "portrait" of Marc Bolan, with the rims higher than inside ( See photo ). It's like a framed picture. Have you ever seen such a unique cover for Marc? And a portrait panel with a stand is also in the frame. A stand is attached to the back side of the panel ( See photo ). Though obi is missing, it still remains rare even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side B: Jeepster, Summertime blues, Seagull woman, Salamanda palaganda, Strange orchestras, Hot love, Elemental child

COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners, bottom & spine-edge. It’s slightly stained with minor spots on the Marc’s face ( See photo ). Back side of pane is also stained with brown spots on the surface of each side. Some vertical scratches are on upper portion of back side. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.
