Uuuh, I think in complete ca. 70 to 100 CDs?? Ever time I am in Japan, I buy nearly every (!!) second Hand Libera-CD, some japanese LIBERA CDs I have got more then 5-8 times!! I CAN´T resist!!

I would like to get the "Beyond"-Album as a promo (as you allready know...) and some copies, which are signed from all actual members, but nobody will sell his copies...

My dream? A handsigned CD of the "Libera in concert" with Mini-Ben, Tom Cully and so on...
Next time I am in the netherlands I will visit the Leiden`s church... Only to feel the atmosphere. Is somebody here in this Forum, who was at the Leiden-concert?? Please let me know, how it was...

In a few days I get a japanese turntable, then I want Libera on Vinyl...
Money saving? Only in my next life...

Congrats for your find Ludwig
When I saw it yesterday on ebay I thought that unusual sticker was a kind of library reference

My newest promo: Libera "I vow to thee my Country" on EMI MUSIC JAPAN Promo Sampler.

After three years of searching I got this japanese promo issue!

Hey! I founded this Libera CD "A new dawn" as an argentinian release! One more rarity in my collection!

Hey dear Libera Fans, after a while I catched another Japanese promotion issue directly from Japan, sealed, never opened. Very expensive... But I only have the normal single disc version as a promo. You can identify these promos on the numbered back sticker. All these CDs have a Japanese additional printing on the inner circle of each CD.

New in my collection: The full signed Visions Book from Japan. The last owner told me that it was signed in a promo event for this book and new CD. Something from the "Golden Times" from libera with Josh and Tom.

Last picture of this book.

Thank you for sharing ! The texts are interesting, especially when the boys said what they would like to do when they would be grown-ups, now that they already are we get to know if they changed their mind They don't write on the programs what voice the boys are singing anymore, do they ? It's the first time I see that.

I wonder how the soprano and alto parts on sheet music would translate into 1st, 2nd and 3rd treble.

What exactly do you mean?

That book is an impossible dream sadly. You are really lucky to have one copy and in a good condition. But what I find shocking are the personal informations and DOB shared publicly, today is a miracle that we know the names of all the boys. Things have changed a lot in the recent years. BTW Was JB a first treble? This sounds new to me.

In that era someone in Japan was Libera cards which resembled American baseball cards. Each card bore a picture of a Libera member on one side and his information on the other.

DOB are not at all necessary, I do not regret that. I like that they got to say a few words about themselves, though, but we still get some of that in videos and texts in the programs they are selling at the concerts. I guess it is less personal but it is better that way.

I do not like the "baseball cards" so much I mean, they are boys, not to collect.

Totally agree. I heard Libera for the first time in 2010, so I was not aware of the existence of these cards containing personal informations. The Libera staff is so ( rightfully ) overprotecting of the boys now that seems unbelievable that things were so different not so many years ago. I think that the more the group popularity grew, the more the staff needed to protect the boys and their lives. They always come first, and this make me appreciate Libera even more.
