Focus – In and Out of Focus (1970) is the debut album by Dutch progressive rock band Focus. Blending rock, jazz, classical, and folk elements, the album introduces the band's eclectic style and instrumental prowess. It features early versions of their signature sound, with Thijs van Leer’s keyboards and flute, Jan Akkerman’s guitar work, and occasional vocals. Tracks like “Focus (Instrumental)” and “House of the King” (added in later editions) hint at the complex, symphonic rock direction they would fully develop later. The album laid the groundwork for their international success in the 1970s.
