Aside from the very recent Focus 8.5 (issued on their own label in 2016) this new box set collects all ten studio albums from those purveyors of progressive rock/jazz/classical, starting with 1970’s Focus Plays Focus/In And Out Of Focus moving all the way through to 2012’s Focus X.
1973’s live album At The Rainbow is also present and correct, as is 1976’s compilation Ship Of Memories and the 1985 studio album from original members Jan Akkerman and Thijs van Leer, called simply Focus (what else?!).
The final disc is the ’93 compilation The Best Of Focus. This features 16-tracks and includes the US single version of Hocus Pocus. The albums come in card sleeves with original artwork and are housed in what looks like a clamshell style box.
