Ten Years After - Cricklewood Green (expanded) 2 x CDs
SKU
28-CYSS2318.2
"Originally released in 1970, Cricklewood Green arrived at a moment when Ten Years After were riding a wave of international success following their explosive performance at Woodstock. Led by the lightning-fast guitar work of Alvin Lee, the band had quickly evolved from a traditional blues outfit into one of the most exciting and commercially viable acts of the late '60s British rock scene. This album reflects that transition, combining their Chicago blues roots with heavier rock, boogie rhythms, and early progressive influences.
Recorded at a time when studio experimentation was becoming central to rock music, Cricklewood Green shows the band expanding beyond their live reputation into more layered and exploratory territory. The hit single "Love Like a Man" became a defining track of the era, earning chart success and cementing the group's reputation on both sides of the Atlantic.
Newly remastered at Air Mastering, this reissue restores the album's original power and nuance. In addition to the album is a newly mixed performance by Charlie Russell of their second set at the Fillmore East on Friday 27th February 1970 on disc two, the sheer power of the band is on full display.
On the CD are a selection of rarities with the standout being a newly discovered "Cricklewood Jam" demo, recorded during the album's sessions and never heard until now. At the centre of the package are newly written liner notes by Nigel Williamson, with interviews with bandmembers and previously unseen photographs and rare ephemera.”
