FYI - Focus are actually from Netherlands.
Don’t worry about it though the Dutch are pretty cool with being confused for the Deutsch. (/s)
But yeah just them arsing about on the sleeve for the first version - I think its credited properly on the actual disc label and on reissues.
I’m just really wondering if there’s any relationship between Foucuses “Akkerman” and Vandals “Ackerman”.
There’s basically no info online about them.
FYI - Focus are still around - playing the odd gig in Europe - still with Thijs van Leer - he’s slightly less vivacious than some of the old youtube videos. No Jan Akkerman these days though.
I always assumed that burt b thing was the band just mucking around. I’m pretty sure the song is by Focus, a German band from the 70s.
