TEN YEARS AFTER ‘A SPACE IN TIME’ 1971 FIRST PRESSING A1 + B1 STAMPER CODES IN DEAD WAX NEAR MINT VINYL LP

Sleeve Condition: A little rainwear, lightly rubbed but overall, Ex-.

Record Condition: Superb, Near Mint with hardly any evidence of play or handling. They don’t turn up in much better condition than this!

What sets this release apart from earlier Ten Years After albums is the liberal use of tasty acoustic guitar and plenty of sound effects and studio tricks that complement the overall texture. From tuning a radio dial to open a 12-bar boogie blaster(Baby, Won't You Let Me Rock and Roll You)to backward tape solos(Let The Sky Fall)to 50's Sci-Fi(Here They Come), Alvin Lee and Company were in top form on this 1971 "Time Capsule".

Lee also shows that he was no slouch on harmonica as he belts out the blues harp (One Of These Days )along with the nice licks from his trusty Gibson ES-335's. Lee's lyrics ran the full gamut on this collection, from country honk (Once There Was A Time) to otherworldly beings "who fly out of the sun", and "know everything we must learn"(Here They Come). He sings painfully about the pitfalls of drug addiction, but optimistically about recovery (Hard Monkeys, I've Been There Too). A fine album.
