1980

 

Ten Years After - Article 1980

The Classic Performances of Ten Years After (Columbia Records) 1976 release.

OK, so the classic performances are on Deram Records. Neoclassic, then I still find that late phase has its kinetic (as we used to say) charms. And admit that even without the regrettable “Positive Vibrations” I’d be very unlikely to play this, except for historical reference.

 

 

Pickwick International Records - Is the bottom of the heap, and Alvin Lee should have better

  treatment than this. But in 1980, this best of collection at least kept his product market alive and well.
