I'm going to master Ten Years After "A Space In Time" today for AF Gold CD...

Bitchin'

 

Is Steve and AF also mastering a Spirit album on a gold cd? If so, which one? I did a thread search and didn't see anything.

 

Love this album. Listened to it constantly on an 8 track back in the day. When I heard AF was doing a Ten Years After title I hoped it would be this one. I hope it sells well so we can get more.

 

Good news I guess, never heard that album and I am a fan of this group ! Sssh. WATTS and Stonedhenge / TYA selftitled are my faves as far as studio recordings go BUt the one that kicks the most seriou butt is RECORDED LIVE - still waiting for a DoCD with The Hobbit included as on the DoLP. Otherwise the CD sounds great.
Best would be a DoLP and DoCD on ap .
The master tapes should be fun to listen to. The used The rolling stones Mobile truck/studio to record their 1973 Tour and theywere at the top of their game then.
Alongwith Made In Japan this is the best Live CD's one can find besides maybe CREAM Wheels On Fire Disc 2 TOAD rules lol

 

Bring it on Steve, really looking forward to this one...

 

BIG NEWS. This is AWESOME.

 

Freak Out!

AWESOME!

 

Good Lord, now I'm really feeling old. TYA was by FAR my favorite group
back then, and I got every LP on the day it was released. To find so many
here aren't familiar with them is just astounding to me. Or to only be slightly
familiar with "I'd Love To Change The World" and nothing else be them is
equally amazing.
I saw them twice in the very early seventies and both shows were astounding.
And of course their performance in "Woodstock" is considered one of the 2 or
3 best performances in the film I(I mean, Alvin Lee was on fire!!).
At any rate, I'm anxiously waiting for this, and can't wait to hear the opening
to the first track "One Of These Days", one of the greatest first tracks on
ANY album from the seventies...........

 

AUTOMATIC BUY.

A Space In Time is my favorite Ten Years After record and the main reason I became a guitarist as a child was from hearing the songs on the album and wanting to learn how to play them. Can't wait to hear how this is going to turn out.

 

Please! That would be awesome.

 

And WATT!

 

Definitely a must buy for me. One of my favorite albums of the early '70's, and the tastiest album Ten Years After ever made. Those of you who are unfamiliar with this album are in for a real treat -- I sure love my original vinyl and can't wait to hear what Steve does with this release!
Thanks Steve!
I hope someday soon AF will get around to improving another overlooked classic... So What from Joe Walsh (a great overlooked album, but surely a poor sounding CD)...


from allmusic.com--

Ten Years After - A Space In Time (1971)
A Space in Time was Ten Years After's best-selling album. This was due primarily to the strength of "I'd Love to Change the World," the band's only hit single, and one of the most ubiquitous AM and FM radio cuts of the summer of 1971. TYA's first album for Columbia, A Space in Time has more of a pop-oriented feel than any of their previous releases had. The individual cuts are shorter, and Alvin Lee displays a broader instrumental palette than before. In fact, six of the disc's ten songs are built around acoustic guitar riffs. However, there are still a couple of barn-burning jams. The leadoff track, "One of These Days," is a particularly scorching workout, featuring extended harmonica and guitar solos. After the opener, however, the album settles back into a more relaxed mood than one would have expected from Ten Years After. Many of the cuts make effective use of dynamic shifts, and the guitar solos are generally more understated than on previous outings. The production on A Space in Time is crisp and clean, a sound quite different from the denseness of its predecessors. Though not as consistent as Cricklewood Green, A Space in Time has its share of sparkling moments. (4/5 stars)

1 One of These Days Lee 5:56

LOL. That's what I did, 'cept I used Youtube to audition the album. And I came to the same conclusion.

 

No, I'm sorry. I was referring to "discovering 2 Classic bands" in the course of a few hours this morning. No, no Spirit. But I will be pre-ordering this.

 

*Does the happy dance!!!*

One of my all time fav albums and man I can' t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

I played the hell out of this record when it was first released. I was one of the first ones to buy new records and play them for my friends. I loved turning people on to new music - still do. But this album was such a huge hit with my friends. It got played many Friday and Saturday nights.
Bring it on!

 

Automatic purchase. I'm in.

 

Count me in too ! Easy sell here....

This was the album of the tour the first time I saw them in November of 1971.

 

OK, I'm famous for bitching about getting albums from AF that I already have in my collection (in this case I have the Columbia vinyl and Chrysalis CD).

But on this one I'm going to shut up and enjoy

Hopefully more TYA will come in the future.

 

I was hoping for Cricklewood Green first. But I'll take 'em as they come. Great news.

 

A great follow-up to the Byrds' Younger Than Yesterday. Can't wait!

 

All ready done! But let's bring some other titles please.
