Please note: the DVDs in this set are PAL format, and will not play on most North American DVD players. Dutch prog rock band Focus has been a household name worldwide for 50 years with hits such as \"Hocus Pocus\", \"House Of The King\", \"Sylvia\", \"Tommy\" and many others. In honor of this monumental band, Red Bullet Productions presents the boxset: Focus - 50 Years: Anthology 1970-1976, consisting of 9 CDs and 2 DVDs with remasters and never before released material, such as the 'Focus At The Rainbow' concert film from 1973! This box set contains the complete work of Focus as released between 1970 and 1976, the years in which the band featured four 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. 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 PAL format DVDs contain 4+ hours of audiovisual 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus (Instrumental)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Happy Nightmare (Mescaline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Anonymus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sugar Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Focus (Vocal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e House of the King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eruption (Live Lanx 1970)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hocus Pocus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Le Clochard (Bread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Janis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moving Waves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Focus II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eruption (Orfeus - Answer - Orfeus - Answer - Pupilla - Tommy - Pupilla - Answer - the Bridge - Euridice - Dayglow - Endless Road - Answer - Orfeus - Euridice)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hocus Pocus (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tommy (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Focus I (Live Texel 1971)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Round Goes the Gossip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Remembered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sylvia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Carnival Fugue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Focus III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Answers?
