From www.tradingboundaries.com release page:
"We knew that it was going to be a magical night when Sir Thijs van Leer of Focus agreed to play his first solo acoustic concert outside of Holland at Trading Boundaries. What we didn’t realise then, was that the evening would transpire into something even more special, when Focus band member, guitarist Menno Gootjes – who was in the audience, agreed to join Thijs on stage, borrowing a guitar from Trading Boundaries’ owners son! Together they deliver some of the most iconic Focus tracks acoustically, as you’ve never heard before, that any Focus fan will cherish.
You can share the magic of that night in this beautifully packaged, hardback, limited edition, collector’s album. Discs II and III has the concert in its entirety… including introductions and wonderful anecdotes from Thijs, who takes you on his musical journey of his life. Disc I titled ‘Focus on the Acoustic’ features musical highlights from the night.
Printed on high-quality cartridge paper, the 32-page booklet that accompanies the CD features hand-written notes by Thijs, telling his story to accompany the music on this album. You will then discover rare photographs from Thijs as a baby (with a drawing by his father Ed) through to his early life and musical career, to reaching heady heights of fame with Focus in the 70s and beyond. The final photograph features Thijs in the Roger Dean gallery at Trading Boundaries with Roger, Menno Gootjes, Pierre van der Linden, Steve Hackett and the owners of Trading Boundaries, Tracy Thomson and Michael Clifford. This photograph has particularly resonance as this album cover artwork was created by Roger Dean, with his artwork being featured throughout the CD. The calligraphy for the album’s title was also written by Roger.
“A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FOCUS FAN” Roger Dean"
