Customer Reviews Think about the time First times I heard this song is about year 1971. I likes Ten Years After music, especially the song " Think about the time" and I get it from Premium Gold Collection. A GREAT SAMPLING OF THIS GROUP'S ECLECTIC MUSIC! The sound quality is killer as it was recently re-mastered from the original source tapes. I just recently purchased this disc on line as a German import. The song selection is excellent & I personally believe this is better than any other "best of" TYA collection. The only problem w/the liner notes is they're written in German! The only problem w/the song selection in my opinion is that the single edit of "Love Like a Man" is included, which omits Alvin Lee's frenetic guitar solo. That said, check out his guitar work on "I'm Coming On" - this solo is GUARANTEED to send shivers down your spine. "If You Should Love Me" starts off as an acoustic blues tune, but builds up throughout w/layers of guitars & Alvin screeching like Janis Joplin by the end of the song. Another great blues jam entitled "I Woke Up This Morning" features yet another fantastic solo & a very cool psychedelic ending that will leave your head spinning. However, as a TYA enthusiast who already owns all of their other albums, the best part for me is the inclusion of relatively obscure songs like "Hard Monkeys" & "Nowhere to Run" which have some folk & soul influences respectively. These songs still sound fresh & energetic in this day of homogenized synthesizer music & rap/hip hop. Very highly recommended for anyone who wants to know what REAL music is all about.
