50 Years: Anthology 1970-1976

Hans Cleuver is credited as writer on 1-2, 1-5, 1-7. Early versions confirm his father, Eric Cleuver, as the writer and he (Eric Cleuver) has a separate credit as lyricist. This error started to appear around 1999/2000. There's NO cross fade between tracks 4-3 and 4-4 (Focus II/Eruption). This is in line with the original album : the cross-fade was introduced on some/all? previous CD releases. Both parts of Anonymus II (tracks 3-7 & 3-8) are unedited. On ALL previous CD releases some music was omitted.
