Key albums on vinyl from original 1967 debut to 2019 limited editions — prices tracked and pressings detailed.
Formed in 1966, Ten Years After quickly became a prominent part of the British Blues Boom by the late 1960s. Their style blends blues rock, psychedelic rock, and hard rock, with Alvin Lee’s guitar work central to their sound. The band recorded major albums like their self-titled 1967 debut, 1969's Ssssh., and 1970's Cricklewood Green, releasing multiple original and reissue vinyl versions. Their Woodstock performance in 1969, featuring "I'm Going Home," was a defining moment, showcasing extended guitar solos and high-energy blues rock. They maintained a steady touring schedule through 1973, split in 1974, and reformed during the 1980s onward, with later albums continuing their legacy into the 21st century.
