Ten Years After (Ten Years After album)

Ten Years After is the debut album by English blues rock band Ten Years After. Recorded at Decca Studios in London in September 1967, and released on October 27, 1967, it was one of the first blues rock albums by British musicians. It has less original material than the band's later works, which were, in most cases, composed entirely of Alvin Lee's songs.
