I searched the board for a mention of this but could find none, and I really felt it needed to be shared.
I just picked this up for under $20 with shipping from Japan.

The jacket and vinyl are in PRISTINE condition, I cannot believe I got such a deal! As far as I can tell, this is exclusive material -- the set does not appear at all to be the same as the Brasil 77 Live album.
I am listening/dubbing the vinyl right now, its amazing. But best yet is the packaging...its basically a book! The jacket itself is more then a gatefold, it actually has a binding like a book. It has a full color 20+ pages of stunning photos. There is a huge section just devoted to half page photos of each of the band members, it has all the lyrics...and a ton of info on samba and bossa nova, albeit all in Japanese. There are also some strange sections regarding the evolution of audio mediums! Of course I cannot read Japanese so the article itself is useless but there is a huge heading of 'AUDIO' with pictures of 8-track players, record players, etc...
This is #10 of 15 in the series, I have been able to find little else regarding the other albums in the series, though I did find an auction on Japan's Yahoo site for #1 which is the Godfather soundtrack of all things!
Do forum rules preclude me from scanning and sharing a PDF of this amazing 'book'?
