This is a CD release of the late 1960’s album "Talent for sale" and the early 1970’s album "Profile". Stand out tracks include "Green onions" and "Mercy mercy mercy" from Talent for sale and the free form improvisation of "Fresh air" from the album Profile. Jan’s late brother, who sadly died last year, played the drums on track 7 whilst Bert Ruiter played with Jan prior to recording with FOCUS.
