Focus - Ship Of Memories (1973)

A compilation of unreleased songs from their whole career dressed up as a studio album. A pitiful way of treating the Focus brand, really.

The first songs are pretty much fusion orientated and seems like leftovers from their previous album Mother Focus. The second half of this album sounds like good old Focus from their first albums. It is still leftovers and it is pretty obvious why this material did not make it into one of their albums.

This album feels like a bit of a rip off and undeserving both Focus and their fans. Fans like myself. This is a decent album, but nothing more than that.
