I have both the CD and the LP. Unfortunately, you'd have to pry them out of my cold, dead hands (that's an American way of saying that I'd never sell them).... I also have a CD of the BBC release "Sing For Ever" by the St. Phillips Choir. I am searching for the LP version. I pledged a large monetary donation to Libera US if someone could dig up a copy of the LP version for me (I'm going to give the donation anyhow, but I wanted to see if they could come up with a copy).

I can help you however. Up on Usenet News, there is a group called alt.binaries.boys.choir-and-soloist ...
You can download the uncompressed FLAC format files for both albums and burn your own CDs. The cover art is also uploaded on that Usenet group.

A few days ago I ordered on an online shop with japanese CDs a copy of the EP Jupiter. In the offer you could see only the cover of this CD, not the backside. Today I received my CD - and I can`t believe my eyes! It IS the japanese PROMOTION-Issue of "Jupiter!!" Sealed, with the famous numbered promotion sticker on the OBI-Strip!! I NEVER have seen this special issue before! What a good luck! What do you think, should I open the seal??

A further new entry in my Libera-Rarities-Collection: Mao Asada "Scating Music 2011-12" with a different performance on DVD to liberas "I vow to thee my Country"!! In this version she skates alone to Libera, without the liddle Boy and the Girl at the end! And on the screen above the ice you only see Mao Asasa. This is also the rare promotion Version issued by EMI JAPAN. A Japan only issue. I was really suprised!! As a nice gimmik, the cover Looks like a rainbow in the light, because it was made with glitter.

So Cool!!!

You'll need a new house to put all these CD's in Soon!

Happy hunting.

You might even have a larger collection than anyone in Libera!

That starts my mind thinking: I wonder if someday someone will propose a Libera 'museum'.

It could house all of these rare CDs; old rare photos of earlier singers; rolling video clips of all kinds of videos (there are hundreds by now - music, promotional, behind the scenes, etc.); picture galleries and slide shows of concerts and tours; information about staff and volunteers over the years; some displays about topical information (similar to what Annie does at Libera Historical Timeline); gift shop (of course!); and whatever else we can think of. And if it ended up near St. Philips, it could even possibly be open before or after a weekend rehearsal, and occasionally a couple boys could rotate and be there for a half hour or so to meet and autograph - an extra draw for some folks. (That last bit is probably not practical, though, for different reasons.)

Nowadays, though, most of these things can be appreciated online (unlike 30 years ago), so it would have very few visitors.

Thank you all for paying attention to my huge libera-special-CD-collection. A liddle bit freaky to collect different versions of the libera-CDs... Yes, a libera-museum would be very nice! I would be the first visitor!

I had been thinking about such a Libera museum and I know someone who would well be able to do that ...

The fight for libera-rarities is getting harder... Prices are rising... CDs are very hard to find...
Here my new entry: "I am the day", Japan Promotion, still sealed with Stickers.

And the next new entry: "Free", still sealed, promotional copy.

After a long time I will get my next promotional CD of libera: "Free", japanese version with the famous promo-sticker on the backside. I am looking for month to get a Promotion copy of "Beyond" but I can`t find a single one....

How big is your collection now? Is there one particular album that you are desperate to buy?
