Into Focus

We've just acquired a copy of Focus' 1974 album, "Hamburger Concerto". As a gal, I used to listen to Focus but always borrowed the albums. We got "Focus III" and "Moving Waves" quite recently, following a few weeks of us both attempting Thijs van Leer's yodelling. As much as I've enjoyed these two albums, HC is a revelation. I read the reviews and thought, must have this, I've never heard it and everyone says it's their best. When it arrived yesterday, I couldn't believe it - it was so familiar, like it had been one of my obsessions. Well, clearly it had been. How could I forget? It is just fantastic, although with a strong Boston Moment (see below). There's a nice little chunk (homage?) of Abbey Road in there. Who cares?
