STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAP

REALLY HARD to find CLEAN ... here, a BEAUTIFUL '69 ORIGINAL in PERFECT shrink wrapper GATEFOLD cover.

1969 ORIGINAL vinyl on the old Deram Records label...in MINT gatefold cover... will include the original 1969 printed DERAM RECORDS inner sleeve ...

Arguably the best TEN YEARS AFTER album, a blasting blitzkrieg of British bluesrock with a psych twist and lots of turned on jamming (dig the throbbing bass lines throughout) ...

     <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Vastly underrated, the band freshly off their heroic WOODSTOCK performance, delivers an intense, tightly wound pulsating throbber...right off the bat "BAD SCENE" may be even better than their signature song "I'm Going Home", a torrid ripper that never lets up...other highlights include the pounding cruncher "Stoned Woman" and both performance show-stoppers "I Woke Up This Morning" and "Good Morning Little School Girl" , (both) lengthy jammers with  heated Alvin Lee guitar theatrics, blazing fingers off the fretboard ... all in all, classic winner of the times...

1969's "Ssssh" proved to be the album that broke the band commercially in the US. Produced by Alvin Lee and company, it also happens to be the tightest and most interesting album they'd released. The album certainly sold well, hitting # 20 in the States. Largely written by Lee, the set still found the band finally beginning to move away from their roots, towards more of a conventional hard, high energy rock sound. While blues remained the predominant genre and the focus remained on Alvin Lee's blazing guitar, this time around the band came together as a very tight performing unit. Tracks such as 'Bad Scene' and the blazing 'Stoned Woman' may be the most exciting thing you've ever heard this band ever play as the band's playing is red hot, injecting a surprising amount of heat and passion into the proceedings. 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl' with slightly revamped ('dirty') lyrics ensured the song would never get US airplay, but did get plenty of regional underground FM radio play. Simply because they're so different than the rest of the album, the catchy flower-power ballads 'f You Should Love Me' and 'I Don't Know That You Don't Know My Name' are a welcome varied effort. Finally, it's always hard to pick an album as being an act's creative zenith, but "Ssssh" may well be the one for Ten Years After containing no weak tracks anywhere in sight ...

CONDITION:
