Jan Akkerman
From the basement
1984
This is an interesting album which opens with a superb heavy metal instrumental (Headbanger), complete with keyboard accompaniment from Thijs van Leer, and then moves into a 14 minute reggae version of Bob Dylans "All along the watchtower" after which comes a speed metal version of the old Brainbox song "Dark Rose".
This album was recorded in 1984. The participation of Thijs van Leer (he played synthesizer on the album) led to the 1985 Focus album.
