weatherbox sons of pioneers tour books (uk & jp) trophies 1 & 2 pretty much all of the singles from ql, gtp & td each eye a path (signed) worlds in a small room (original version jp vinyl) perspectives (signed) I had bought two of these and sent one to my girl friend in japan, funny...never spoke to her again after that.
I'm sure there is more. I would need to dig out the boxes
My programme from the 82 Tin Drum (and final) tour - i dont remember much about the concert but the programme sums up their style and sense of fashion.
I got pretty much all of the official Japan/members stuff. Nearly everything.. Never payed too much for an item, because I follow Japan ever since "Adolescent Sex" came on Toppop (dutch top of the pops) in 1979. Bought all the stuff straight after the release. All for normal/reasonable prices.
But my most valued Japan items would be:
- 1977 Demos - bootleg "Leidenese Boys" (concert in Leiden, Holland - Most valued to me, cos I was there..) - bootleg "Visions Of China" (great triple album - with members from YMO) - Rob Dean "The Lost Tapes"
still looking for "The Art Of Parties" tour though.. The last show with Rob Dean.

I have a box set of David Sylvian bootlegs called "A Stronghold of Pleasures - The Live Chronicles". The box set includes a recording from the In Praise of Shamens Tour 1988, Everything and Nothing Tour 2001, Slowdive Tour 1995, Road to Graceland Tour 1993 and The First Day Tour 1992. While all these recordings are widely available the box set is in a DVD format with double CDs and printed lists of the tour details and comes in a handmade brown boxm my copy is number 14 and if I remember correctly there were only 100 available. I will attached pics tomorrow, if anyone is interested in having a look. I do think it is one of the rarest unauthorised items.
