It was released in August 1971 by Chrysalis Records in the United Kingdom and Columbia Records in the United States. This reissue is a must-have for fans of key ’70s British rock albums and a full-fledged Alvin Lee and Ten Years After revival is long overdue. Released: January 1972 2 A Space in Time is the sixth studio album by the British blues rock band Ten Years After. Three more albums without Lee would follow. It would reunite for one more album with Alvin Lee in 1989. The group would only record two more studio albums, calling it a day after Positive Vibration in 1974. The album was the group’s first in its new record deal, wherein its records would be released on Chrysalis, but through Columbia, marking the group’s first album not released in the UK, through Deram, its original label. Kimsey also brings out the spacier side of the album with the new mix. For the new mix, Kimsey takes a very subtle approach, but there are sounds on this mix one might have missed on the original. That sound is most prevalent on the original mix. The main ingredient that makes this album such a classic is the melding of fiery electric guitar and lush acoustic guitar. The original mix sounds excellent and there is a tasteful blend of rock, blues, pop, and even a little prog and jazz. It’s not often that reissues of classic albums from the 1960s and 1970s with new mixes have the remix done by the original engineer or producer. The original album was engineered by Kimsey. This 50th anniversary edition was half-speed mastered at Abbey Road studios and the records were pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl. The second album includes the original mix. The first album is of the new 2023 remix by Chris Kimsey.
This reissue was well thought out and features two vinyl albums. The album has stood the test of time and has now finally been reissued. There are even a few prog and orchestral touches giving the album a little more of the feel that the title suggests. The album was one of the group’s most diverse and showed lead guitarist Alvin Lee just as adept at acoustic guitar work as he was as a blazing hot electric player. The album included the track “I’d Love to Change the World” that perfectly captured the times, lyrically and musically. With A Space in Time, released in 1971, the group went beyond the promise of Cricklewood Green and made what is perhaps its best album. Through 1970s Cricklewood Green and Watt, the band didn’t completely shake off its heavy blues rock and psychedelic sound, but the former in particular showed the group to be capable of making a great album. Hailing from Nottingham, the group’s heavy blues music quickly morphed into a more psychedelic sound on its self-titled debut album in 1967 and on its next two albums, Stonedhenge and Ssssh, both released in 1969.ġ969 was a key year for Ten Years After, as the group’s incendiary performance at Woodstock, highlighted by “I’m Going Home” featured in the Woodstock film, put it on the musical map. Ten Years After (brothers Alvin Lee and Ric Lee, Leo Lyons, and Chick Churchill) was one of the many groups or artists to first emerge out of the 1960s British blues and R&B boom, to become part of the fabric of British rock that dominated in the mid-to-late 1960s and most of the 1970s. This new edition of the album features new sleeve notes by Chris Kimsey, and band members, Ric Lee, Chick Churchill and Leo Lyons.This is a most welcome reissue of an album that may not rank as one of the biggest or most important albums of the 1970s, but one worthy of some serious re-evaluation. Both have been mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The second disc in this set features the original 1971 mix of the album.
He has used modern day plug- ins that perfectly emulate and expand upon the original recording. This new (delayed) 50th Anniversary edition of the album features a brand new mix by the original producer / engineer, Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones/ Emerson Lake and Palmer/ Marillion), using the original 2” multitrack tapes.
