Alvin Lee and Company is the third compilation album by Ten Years After released by their old record label Deram after they had switched to Columbia Records.

A Space in Time is the sixth studio album by Ten Years After. It was released in August 1971 by Chrysalis Records in the United Kingdom and Columbia Records in America. A departure in style from their previous albums, A Space in Time is less 'heavy' than previous albums and includes more acoustic guitar, perhaps influenced by the success of Led Zeppelin who were mixing acoustic songs with heavier numbers. It reached number 17 in the Billboard 200. This is on Columbia Records - PC 30801. The third track on the album, "I'd Love to Change the World", is also their biggest hit. By combining a melodic acoustic chorus with challenging electric guitar riffs, they managed to produce a sound that hit number 10 in the charts in Canada and number 40 in the USA. Although this was their biggest hit, they rarely played it live. "Baby Won't You Let Me Rock 'n' Roll You" also charted in the USA, peaking at number 61. #rockandroll #70s #tenyearsafterband #alvinlee #leolyons #riclee #chickchurchill #columbiarecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkudksFbRl/?igshid=g18i4671tzbq

Watt is the fifth studio album by Ten Years After, released in 1970. It was recorded in September 1970 except for the last track, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen", which is a recording from the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. A gatefold on London Records’ Deram label - DES 18050. Allmusic gave Watt a moderately negative review, saying it "had many of the same ingredients as its predecessor, Cricklewood Green, but wasn't nearly as well thought out." They praised the band for performing as energetically as ever, but contended that Alvin Lee's compositions for the album are uniformly uninspired. #rockandroll #theseventies #deramrecords #alvinlee #tenyearsafterband https://www.instagram.com/p/CGi0k6MlAIN/?igshid=14e9whnbctzx3

Cricklewood Green is the fourth studio album by blues rock band Ten Years After, released in 1970. This one is a gatefold on Deram Records - DES 18038. Allmusic gave Cricklewood Green a firmly positive retrospective review, praising each individual track and summarizing that "the band and engineer Andy Johns mix studio tricks and sound effects, blues-based song structures, a driving rhythm section, and Alvin Lee's signature lightning-fast guitar licks into a unified album that flows nicely from start to finish." #rockandroll #tenyearsafterband #alvinlee #deramrecords #theseventies #chrysalismusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfGQS2ltq_/?igshid=w5scr29s75p1

Undead is a live album by Ten Years After, recorded at the small jazz club, Klooks Kleek, in London, May 1968, and released in August of that year. The show combined blues, boogie and jazz playing that merged more traditional rock and roll with 1950s-style jump blues. The album "amply illustrates" Alvin Lee's "eclectic" use of the pentatonic scale mixed with other modalities. On Deram - DES 18016. An FYI: From Wikipedia - Ten Years After are a British blues rock band, most popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Between 1968 and 1973, Ten Years After scored eight Top 40 albums on the UK Albums Chart. In addition they had twelve albums enter the US Billboard 200, and are best known for tracks such as "I'm Going Home", "Hear Me Calling", "I'd Love to Change the World" and "Love Like a Man".
