Ten Years After – Cricklewood Green

People list this album, along with A Space in Time, as essential TYA. Growing up, Ssssh was considered just as important.

Probably my favorite of the three Ten Years After records in my collection. "Me And My Baby" veers towards jazz, "Circles" is a quiet acoustic number. Some solid guitar/organ interplay on a few songs, and a diverse batch of material. This pressing sounds fantastic, bass and drums have plenty of depth, guitars and vocals ring out, and everything sounds vibrant and alive, with an immersive, wide soundstage. My copy is in mighty fine shape, with just a trace of occasional faint surface noise.

Ten Years After's rockiest & most sonically layered brew wherein they get the balance between song structure & cohesive driving performance right w/ a mix of straight-ahead blues, rock, psych, country, acoustic pop & extended jam songs showcasing Alvin Lee's trademark intense speed-flash soloing.
A solid blues/rock album.

Back in the day I was a big fan. Having seen them several times at the Fillmore East between 1969 and 1971 they were fantastic. I was so fortunate to have been there. I believe this is their finest album. Rest in peace Alvin Lee. I'll never forget you

Solid LP from start to finish, one of their best collections of songs, and the band tight and fired up. This and A Space In Time are essential.

Great sonics suitable for cranking up, excellent blues rock recording.

Everything on my copy matches this release's information in every way, but mine has the blue Chrysalis label.

Great copy pressed on heavy vinyl. Great in deep tones and detail. Amazing album as well. Must have in a blues rock collection
