Here is more information about Geo Dijkhuis. Btw, being a Dutchman myself, I never heard of him ever before.

Me thinks that this is a bootleg which has slipped through Discogs security but not for much longer! Thanks Roger.

Seems that back in 1996 Stevie Wonder, supported by Seal, appeared in the South-East Asian country of Brunei to play at events to celebrate the 15th Birthday of the ruler's son!!

I've found this clip of him singing "Ribbon In The Sky" at one of the events and he sounds great.

Perhaps even more importantly for us collectors and completists it seems that a three CD box set of this was issued in Brunei ... here are details of it at Discogs ...

Discogs has yet to have had a copy of this release sold through its marketplace but someone is trying to sell the box set at £4,000.

Interestingly, it looks like the same buyer is trying to sell it on EBay for the lesser amount of £3,678.70

It brings to mind what Mr Gordy is reputed to have asked the youth of Detroit about new releases .... "If you had $5000 to spare would you buy this Stevie Wonder release or an all expenses paid world cruise?"

Any takers?
