{"product_id":"focus-in-out-of-focus","title":"IN \u0026 OUT OF FOCUS","description":"This eight-track, digitally-remastered reissue of progressive rockers' Focus' IN AND OUT OF FOCUS includes \"Black Beauty\" and \"Why Dream.\"\nPersonnel: Thijs van Leer (vocals, flute, keyboards, synthesizer); Jan Akkerman (guitar, percussion); Hans Eric Cleuver (drums).\nLiner Note Author: Mike Vernon.\nFocus' debut album is gentler and more low-key and vocal-oriented than their subsequent efforts; fans of Jan Akkerman's pyrotechnics may be disappointed by his relatively restrained presence, but others may be pleasantly surprised to find a more economic group than they remember. A fair collection of progressive rock tunes without a clear focus, the material is dominated by Thijs Van Leer, often introducing classical sensibilities. But at least as often, it sticks with fairly conventional period folk-rock and blues influences, with occasional jazzy shadings. Akkerman's \"House of the King\" is the most accurate Jethro Tull imitation ever recorded. ~ Richie Unterberger","brand":"Focus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44587162763497,"sku":"TSR2WV-7FNR-00","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/focus-in-out-of-focus_bWbgL.jpg?v=1759427919","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/focus-in-out-of-focus","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
