Deep Tracks Found
It seems, for some reason, that this is only available as an import. I have the original old vinyl, but I wanted this classic recording on CD, but could never find it in a retail store, so I finally ordered it online. Well worth it! Every bit as good as I remembered it, and lots of bonus tracks that are well having for any fan of this band. Ten Years After, fourty years after (and counting), still great! Rock on!.


Endless Style of Music
Alvin Lee and Ten
Years After's music is style viable in today's market if people would
only listen. One of the most under appreciated bands to ever exist along with one of
the most underated guitar players to have ever lived. A real treat!.


First is the Best !
Just totally awesome ! Play it at midnight on Halloween night . "Help Me" is the best song on the whole cd . Alvin Lee just rocks . Love it ! .


An Essential (But Often Overlooked) Document of Its Time
Ten Years After's 1967 eponymous debut is a remarkable albeit often overlooked document of that time. Before degenerating into the musical masturbation of whining heavy metal guitars and boring drum solos, the socalled British Blues Boom of the mid-60s was a passionate and innovative scene.

Hearing of Ten Years After's reputation as one of the best live blues-rock acts around, Decca's A&R man/producer Mike Vernon snapped them up without having so much as a demo. Once they got into the studio, the group put together an album showing themselves as firmly grounded in jazz as they were in blues: "Advenures of a Young Organ," an original collaboration between organist Chick Churchill and guitarist Alvin Lee, owes more to Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery than Booker T and Steve Cropper; the band's version of Al Kooper's "I Can't Keep From Crying," goes even further, proving Alvin Lee's debt to George Benson as well.

In it's original format the album opened with the speedy blues of "I Want To Know" (a number credited to one 'McLeod,' who was actually Manfred Mann vocalist Paul Jones); it closed with "Help Me," a chilling 10 minute rendition of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Help Me, Baby. "

This CD reissue includes the original debut album, plus six bonus tracks from 1968. Except for the previously unreleased version of Woody Herman's "Woodchoppers Ball," these additional songs are all Alvin Lee originals: "Portable People," "The Sounds," "Rock Your Mama," and "Spider In My Web," come from the group's first two singles, while "Hold Me Tight," was previously available only on the 1972 compilation ALVIN LEE & COMPANY.

For this reissue, along with the original scribblings of Marquee Club manager John C. Gee, are updated liner notes from group drummer Ric Lee, who provides a track-by-track commentary and some interesting insight into the band's early history.

Buy Undead Instead
This for the most part is just dead. If you're time tripping, skip over this one and go right to Undead.
