{"product_id":"50-years-anthology-1970-1976-limited-edition-9cd-dvd-box-set","title":"50 Years Anthology 1970-1976: Limited Edition 9CD + DVD Box Set","description":"This box set contains the complete works of Focus as released between 1970 and 1976, the years in which the band featured 4 of the most talented musicians originating from the Netherlands during the 70s: guitarist Jan Akkerman, keyboard player Thijs van Leer, bass player Bert Ruiter and drummer Pierre van der Linden. In the period 1970-1976, Focus was the first continental European rock group to reach a worldwide audience meanwhile touring extensively in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Japan. The band scored two worldwide hit singles, sold several million albums and was the first Dutch rock group claiming Melody Maker’s Brightest Hope award for 1972. One year later, Focus hit the US Billboard charts with two singles and two albums simultaneously.\n\n‘50 Years: Anthology 1970-1976’ is curated by Focus\/Jan Akkerman archivist Wouter Bessels and includes long anticipated new remasters of their first seven albums, plus single tracks, alternate mixes, demos, raw studio mixes and previously unreleased live recordings. In addition, two DVDs contain 4+ hours audio visual material from the archives of worldwide tv broadcasting companies, plus the first official and long anticipated release of the 1973 ‘Focus At The Rainbow’ concert movie, carefully remastered from the original 16 mm film.\n\n\n\u003cb\u003eCD1 – FOCUS PLAYS FOCUS \/ IN AND OUT OF FOCUS\u003c\/b\u003eOriginal release: 1970\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus (instrumental) 9.46 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Dream 3.56 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappy Nightmare (Mescaline) 3.56 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnonymus 7.01 5.
