SFF (Eduard Schicke, Gerd Führs and Heinz Fröhling) had an orchestral sound that was overwhelming and mesmerizing. With Dieter Dirks (Scorpions, Wallenstein, Nektar etc.) the band found an excellent producer for their first album "Symphonic Pictures", which was released in 1976 and sold around 12,000 copies. The trio's popularity grew primarily through their unforgettable live concerts - "It was a bit of magic and an overwhelming intensity that took the audience and the band together into another world." In this context, the SFF gigs in Scheeßel (1977) and of course the Brain Festival (1978) should be mentioned, two songs from which appear on this collection. In 1977 and 1978, SFF recorded two more records with Dieter Dierks - "Sunburst" and "Ticket To Everywhere". After the recording of the last album, there were musical and ideological differences and the trio broke up. Until his tragic death in November 1992, Gerd lived in Bremen. He worked in Japan, USA, England and Germany for Yamaha who considered Gerd to be one of the best programmers/keyboard consultants in the world. This CD release is dedicated to his memory. Great CD collection of all three of the band's studio albums, with extensive photos and liner notes and compl. remastered ! 2 bonus tracks from the Brain Festival in 1978!
