A Space in Time (1971). A Space in Time was Ten Years After's best-selling album. This was due primarily to the strength of "I'd Love to Change the World," the band's only hit single, and one of the most ubiquitous AM and FM radio cuts of the summer of 1971. TYA's first album for Columbia, A Space in Time has more of a pop-oriented feel than any of their previous releases had. The individual cuts are shorter, and Alvin Lee displays a broader instrumental palette than before. In fact, six of the disc's ten songs are built around acoustic guitar riffs. However, there are still a couple of barn-burning jams. The leadoff track, "One of These Days," is a particularly scorching workout, featuring extended harmonica and guitar solos. After the opener, however, the album settles back into a more relaxed mood than one would have expected from Ten Years After…

Pure Blues is a compilation album of Alvin Lee’s music both with Ten Years After and his solo work and was released in 1995. The album featured singles “Don’t Want You Woman” from Ten Years After’s self-titled debut and “I Woke Up This Morning”, and “The Stomp” (both from the SSSSH album) and two killer live tracks, “Slow Blues in C” and “Help Me” from the Recorded Live album.

EARLY 1969 US BROADCAST SHOW, RECORDED FIVE MONTHS BEFORE TYA’s BREAKTHROUGH WOODSTOCK PERFORMANCE • Formed from the ashes of early-1960s Nottingham collective, The Jaybirds, Ten Years After became an entity in their own right around 1966, when they moved to London and changed their name. • Ten Years After were soon gigging steadily, including holding down a residency at London's Marquee Club, and in 1967, after an appearance at the Windsor Jazz Festival earned praise in the music press, the quartet signed a record deal with Deram Records, the progressive subsidiary of the U.K. Decca label. • Divided between originals by Alvin Lee and covers of blues classics, Ten Years After's self-titled debut (released in 1967) didn't capture the group's on-stage fire, so for their second LP, 1968's Undead, they documented a show at a small club where TYA could stretch out on blues jams, and the group unveiled a raucous new number, ‘I'm Going Home.’ The tune caught the notice of blues fans, and the album charted in the United States, going to 115 on the Top 200 charts.

Ten Years After La carrière de Ten Years After est épinglée dans l'espace-temps des 9 minutes et 29 secondes de la prestation du guitariste Alvin Lee, au festival de Woodstock, en 1969. Cet épisode a sublimé pour toujours le parcours d'un groupe issu du British Blues Boom anglais. Le morceau de bravoure intitulé « I'm Going Home » ne doit pas occulter les cinq albums studio enregistrés entre 1967 et 1970 pour le label Deram, ni les albums en public Undead (1968) et Recorded Live (1973), qui représentent l'âge d'or du groupe. Parmi eux, les classiques Stonedhenge (1969) et Cricklewood Green (1970) permettent d'apprécier la formation à son apogée. Par la suite, Ten Years After signe avec Chrysalis (notamment pour l'album A Space in Time en 1971), puis se sépare en 1975. Il ne revient que quinze ans plus tard avec l'album About Time (1989), le dernier avec Alvin Lee qui décède en 2013. Entre temps paraissent Now (2004) et Evolution (2008), avec le nouveau chanteur et guitariste Joe Grooch. En 2017, Marcus Bonfanti prend sa succession sur A Sting in the Tale. Le coffret de dix CD 1967-1974 paru l'année suivante comprend les neuf premiers albums et les séances inédites de The Cap Ferrat Sessions, datant de 1972.

Originally released in 1969, Ssssh marked Ten Years After's breakthrough into mainstream rock, blending blues riffs with the raw energy of British psychedelia.

Hard-rocking British blues band led by virtuosic guitarist Alvin Lee and best known for their legendary Woodstock performance. 2012 Compilation. 34 Tracks. Including 3 BBC recordings, previously unavailable on CD.

"I'm Going Home" from Ten Years After's previous release put them on the charts, at least in the U.K. (the band's U.S. breakthrough was at Woodstock a year after its release), but the four-piece was already experimenting with ways to expand their basic boogie rock template. Stonedhenge was the result, as producer Mike Vernon helped steer the band into a more jazz- and blues-oriented direction. That's especially evident in the swinging "Woman Trouble," but this set is generally more prone to broadening the sound without losing TYA's basic concept. It doesn't always gel – the four short pieces that feature each musician alone on their instrument is an interesting idea that ends up as a distraction – yet the album boasts some terrific performances by a group that was hitting its peak. Canned Heat, who TYA supported in America and who were also trying to push their own boogie envelope, were a big influence, born out by the very Heat-sounding "Hear Me Calling." Alvin Lee keeps his fleet fingers in check, preferring to work his style into a more organic fusion.

Ten Years After is the debut album by the English blues rock band Ten Years After. It features "Spoonful", a Howlin' Wolf song (written for him by Willie Dixon) that the British blues rock group Cream covered as well (on their albums Fresh Cream and Wheels of Fire). The album is also low on original material in comparison to the band's later works which were, in most cases, entirely composed of Alvin Lee's songs. It's one of the first blues rock albums released by the British artists.

One of three acts (with Peter Gabriel and Paul Butterfield) on Rockpalast’s Third Rocknacht ("Rock Night") on 15th September, 1978 at the 10,000-capacity Grugahalle in Essen, recorded on the night of the famous Ali-Spinks heavyweight boxing match. Features legendary guitarist Alvin Lee in his only Rockpalast appearance, with backing musicians Tom Compton (drums) and Mick Hawksworth (bass). The Full 10-song set includes the Ten Years After Woodstock classic "I’m Going Home". Includes bonus unbroadcast tracks ‘Sweet Little Sixteen’ and 'Roll Over Beethoven' Alvin Lee post-show comment: "The best TV show I ever appeared in."

Alvin Lee always works with red hot drummers and one of the delights of this excellent album is the driving drum work of American funkster John Susswell, visiting England when Alvin was planning this 1978 solo effort. Vintage performances by the guitarist are sparked by a tasty rhythm section that includes stalwart bass player Alan Spenner. Ten top tracks written by Alvin include the intriguing ‘Chemicals, Chemistry, Mystery & More’.

Ten Years After's Woodstock performance was, up until that time, their biggest live triumph. Appearing at the festival in August 1969, in front of a 500,000 strong audience, the festival was a landmark moment in musical history, featuring Jimi Hendrix, Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Who, Joe Cocker, Jefferson Airplane, Sly and The Family Stone and many more.

Well, it was hot and new back in 1979 when this hard rockin’ album was first released. Ten Years Later was the group Alvin put together to replace Ten Years After, when he wanted to get back on the road after the original band split in 1974. Alvin teamed up with Tom Compton (drums) and Mick Hawksworth (bass), fine musicians who are featured on the ‘live’ and ‘studio’ recordings that comprised the original LP. The leader described the live recording featured as ‘A true and faithful recording of Ten Years Later on stage with no overdubs or effects’. You can hear Alvin and the boys get stuck into ‘Ain’t Nothin’ Shakin’, ‘Hey Joe’ and, of course, ‘Going Home’ - a blistering eight-minute version of the famed boogie shuffle. The other five tracks were recorded in Alvin’s Space Studio…

Alvin Lee got itchy feet after some years mainly working in the studio. He’d quit Ten Years After to take a break from endless touring, but the lure of the road drew him back and the result was the ironically titled Ten Years Later that was a splendid platform for the virtuoso guitarist to get his rocks off, once again.

Ten Years After are an English blues rock band, most popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Between 1968 and 1973, Ten Years After scored eight Top 40 albums on the UK Albums Chart. In addition they had twelve albums enter the US Billboard 200, and are best known for tracks such as "I'm Going Home", "Hear Me Calling", "I'd Love to Change the World" and "Love Like a Man". Their musical style consisted of blues rock, and hard rock.

This release is Exclusive and the first of a handful of releases to comemorate the 50th Anniversary of the bands legendary appearance at Woodstock in 1969. The Cap Ferrat Sessions took place during the recording of their Rock and Roll Music To The World album and first appeared on the 2017 10CD Box Set 1969-1974. This is the first release outside the box set.
