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.

WOW
,,this cd should be no1 on your list. If you're looking for good rock, blues and jazz fusions,. TYA have since their first album back in 1967, cranked out the best music on this planet. This CD is a sampling of just what you will get on any of their issued cd's. It's nothing short of fantastic, in fact I'd say these four musicians are the most talented on Earth. QAlvin, Leo,Chick, and Ric have honed their God given talents to a status of legendary. Listen to the quality of the music and see if you can resist buying other albums of theirs. Peace Dan Jasper.
