Jan Akkerman - The Complete Jan Akkerman [26xCD Box Set] (2018) [Jazz Rock / Fusion]; FLAC (tracks+.cue)

Unread postby Mike1985 » 29 Aug 2018, 19:25


Artist: Jan Akkerman
Album: The Complete Jan Akkerman [26xCD Box Set]
Genre: Jazz Rock / Fusion
Label: Red Bullet
Released: 2018
Quality: FLAC (tracks+.cue) + Full artwork, jpg, 600 dpi
Total time: 23:14:22

The Complete Jan Akkerman is a new 26 CD box set which brings together all the studio albums (and more) of Dutch guitar legend Jan Akkerman, who found international success with the band Focus.

The creative guitarist is well known for his individualistic style, combining rock, jazz, blues, and baroque into his solo projects. This 26-disc set includes the solo studio long-players, his most important live recordings and a CD of rare and previously unreleased tracks.

The booklet includes a biography, some unpublished photos and an album-to-album breakdown, featuring full credits (including never-before-published facts about who played what on specific albums) and Jan’s own memories about the 23 studio and live albums, taken from recent interviews with Jan.

In terms of mastering, these have come from the best available sources, including analog two-track tapes, digital safety copies, and the odd DAT tape (for the rarities disc). Where master tapes have disappeared or been untraceable, then “a few” needle drops have been used. Everything has been remastered “carefully” to maintain dynamic range, and some are even flat transfers because they didn’t need enhancing in any way.

Greetings Mike1985! Thanks for taking the time to share and upload all of this. It appears though that in the Hotlink discs 1, 2, 3 & 26 are missing? Any chance you can upload those as well? I'm a huge Akkerman fan (and Focus) and have quite a bit of his material on vinyl. These flac files are godsend.
Thanks for the consideration! Best! -rezleraz

Fantastic, thank you so much!

And thank you Mike for all you do here! I was thrilled to find some Japanese Fusion (Casiopea, Fragile, Prism, Trix, etc). Great stuff here.

Awesome! =)
