The progressive rock group Scope was founded in Zwolle, The Netherlands in 1971. 
The band was founded by Henk Zomer (drums) and Rik Elings (keyboards, flute) 
who knew each other from high school where they played together in a band called 
Strange Power. Under this name they recorded two singles in 1971, That's the way/
Turn me loose and Tenderfoot/Spring. With the addition of Rens Nieuwland (guitar) 
and Erik Raayman (bass guitar) they became Scope. In the coming years they play a 
lot throughout The Netherlands and Germany. In 1974 they recorded their debut in 
Germany for Negram label.

In 1975 Rob Franken (keyboards) joins the band, Raayman leaves the band and joins Medusa, 
and Elings switches to bass guitar.With this line up they record their second album, also in Germany.
