SHARON & FRIENDS -- Portrait -- ex. rare, original mid-1970's (??) U.S. album.  Very nice and apparently completely unknown Private Press Female Xian Soft Rock LP from this way-obscure Caruthers (Fresno area), California based group led by singer-songwriter Sharon Weymouth, with a smooth, radio-friendly 1970's groove ala Bread, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton-John etc. on tracks like the uptempo "Consecrated" and "Jesus I Believe" and excellent, heartfelt ballad "Portrait" among others.  Apart from one throwaway children's tune, this is all Mainstream Soft Rock-Pop with Xian lyrics, and very tasty stuff.  There's apparently no information on the band, and I've never seen another copy of this.  See photo for track list.  Cover:  VG+++/Near Mint-, still in shrink wrap, price sticker on outside of shrink.  Record:  VG+++, on private label, U.S. press.
