Ten Years After

I love tya! Having played in bands with crazy lead singers, ott guitar players, insane keyboarders tya are balanced. And most bands dress up g c d songs as art! Tya just do it. Just rip alvin but saw you live! Rock'n'roll music to the world!

This is a very good album that I bought after "the best of". It is a good mixture of rock and blues, and shows - with all the freshness - what the band will be able to give. It can be played over and over without tiring you. Recommended.

Absolutely fabulous.

Thank you.Very pleased/

This ones a cracker go get it

Good LP. Thanks

In 1967 there was a incredible new live group called 'ten years after' they were similiar in style to Cream, or savoy brown, and others of the day. But like savoy brown they were a sped up electric blues rockin band. Only they played faster and wilder. This was a really good starting point and in 1968 it rocked hard. One must put these releases into the time period they were released and not todays scene. This was a strong blues rockin early hard rocker. But it's not like the hard rock psych rock that was protometal they created from 1969 onward. IN 1967 though this was as good as any harder band out there and there's no pop in this one at all. I like pop but these guys charged out of the gate as a all blues hard rock outfit from the getgo. The sound is clear and well recorded. I like this early hard rock stuff and it compares favorablely with john mayall, savoy brown, the yardbirds and others. The two star guy is not looking at the year this was out. He only likes later types of hard rock obviously which is a shame. thankfully, I like this early hard rock and it's very blues driven. If you like the music scene of the midsixties then this is a example of what was blues hard rock of that period. They would explode into some fantastic real hard rock that is psych even in just two years time. Alvin lee though was a smokin guitarist. He later made the mistake of toning it down after he left ten years after. Still for 1967 this was wonderful music. It's of it's time though and it was a good time.

This is the first album produced by Ten Years After and I still feel it is one of their best. Great sound, including a brilliant version of Willie Dixon's "Spoonfull" and of course some superb guitar playing by Alvin Lee. For those Rock enthusiasts who do not own any of Ten Years After's albums, take it from me, you are really missing out and if you are thinking of starting a collection, then this is the one to start with because it is their debut album and like me you will probably want to collect them all in order.

Su primer y mejor disco, excelente. Entonces eran un innovador grupo de jazz. Producido por el mismo que lo hacia con John Mayall. Blues británico del mejor, luego, sobre todo en estudio se convirtieron en un grupo mas confuso que otra cosa, este es magnifico, como lo son sus discos en vivo. Sonido propio de la época, que por cierto me encanta, portada psicodélica al uso y contiene temas extras. Si no lo tienes compratelo.

Concerne la version: CD 2002 remastérisé avec bonus (Deram-Universal). J'écoute toujours avec un grand plaisir ce premier album (1967) des Ten Years After, depuis 1970 quand je l'ai "découvert". Il porte en germe tout ce qui caractérisera la musique de ce groupe de blues-rock ô combien "anglais": du rock à base de blues, certes, mais aussi une coloration jazzy affirmée et aussi un côté un peu aventureux, inventif, qui ne se démentira pas au moins jusqu'à "Stonehenge" (à mon humble avis, leur période la plus intéressante). C'est un groupe débutant au disque mais dont les musiciens, en plus de leur virtuosité, ont déjà de l'expérience et du vécu ensemble. Ici, les bonus sont intéressants, le son est amélioré et le livret avec les notes de Ric Lee se lit avec plaisir.

Finally after all this time got around to getting the first Ten Years After CD. Heard it many times years ago and it still holds so well.

This was their first release back in 1967 and you can already hear Alvin Lee,s lightning guitar work. This re-mastered edition has some interesting bonus material.John Walsh

Regalo molto apprezzato

Es el disco de debut de la banda, particularmente me gusta, si te gusta el blues y el rock lo disfrutaras seguro

Mit diesem Erstlingswerk begann der Seiltanz auf 6 Saiten! Die Schlüsselfigur von Ten Years After ist der Gitarrist, von dem die Englische Presse schreibt: Seine Finger bewegen sich wie Blitze. Man sieht und hört sieben Gitarren auf einmal und seine Stimme, ob sie nun einen weißen Soulblues stöhnt oder einfach nur gerade heraus singt, passt genau zu seinem Spiel (Melody Maker).Das transparente, ungekünstelte erste "TEN YEARS AFTER" - Album präsentierte im Oktober 1967 alle Vorzüge dieser Band. Beschwingte Boogietitel, Slow Blues, wie z.B. das zehnminütige "Help me (babe)" des schwarzen Blues-Ausnahmekönners Sonny Boy Williamson, welches von TYA in einer einzigen Studiosession aufgenommen wurde und aufgrund der softig dahinsprudelnden, dumpf hervor gehobenen Power-Bassläufe eines grandiosen Leo Lyons, über die Alvin seine quirligen Gitarrenphantasien legt, eine atmosphärisch-düstere Dunkelheit verbreitet. Es mag vom Text her vielleicht ein wenig sexistisch sein und deshalb feministisch unnachgiebig geprägte Frauen nicht gerade ansprechen, aber wie Alvin dieses machoide "You have to wash, you have to sew, you have to cook, ...... and if you can`t help me babe, I go on the other side of the street and found somebody else" brutal hinaus röhrt, ist schon einsame, Gänsehaut erzeugende Spitzenklasse. Oder das einfühlsame und extrem bluesjazzlastige "I can`t keep from crying, sometimes" oder spritziger Barrelhouse-Jazz. Alles kam so intensiv und heavy und doch irgendwie achselzuckend und einfach easy daher, wie man das bis dahin noch nicht gehört hatte. Alvins Fingerfertigkeiten beeindruckten in ihrer superschnellen und doch sensiblen Virtuosität. Allen wurde bewusst: EVEN SPEEDFINGERS HAVE THE BLUES. Chick Churchills Orgelsolo in "Adventures of a young organ" zeigte Referenzklasse, hatte er doch seinerzeit noch die gleichen Rechte wie der Boss.Alles in Allem ein Album aus der Ur-Zeit des Rock, als noch niemand recht wusste, wohin er einst gehen würde. Ein Spitzenalbum für Musikfreaks.

Ok

The Bonus Tracks are alone are worth the price

Oldies but goldiesI was listening this group since I have been 15-16 years old to the radio, I saw them at Woodstock....and so on

Gran álbum debut de los Ten Years After, e impresionante la guitarra de Albin Lee, todo inspiración unos fenómenos sí

Era quello che volevo, con in più anche l'Mp3 già fatto! Questa storia del numero di parole obbligatorio.. La spedizione è stata puntualissima

A l'époque, j'ai vu ce groupe à son début et acheté cet album, que je pense être le premier. Le style et le jeu d'Alvin LEE a été un choc..Il était le guitariste le plus rapide de son temps...Les morceaux dont la reprise "Sponful" m'ont emballés. Je n'ai pas hésité à le reprendre pour écouter un son sans craquement...Merci Amazon

Excellent

Excellent!!!
