A Space in Time was Ten Years After's seventh and best-selling album.
A Space in Time has more of a pop-oriented feel than any of their previous releases had. The individual cuts are shorter, and Alvin Lee displays a broader instrumental palette than before. In fact, six of the disc's ten songs are built around acoustic guitar riffs.
However, there are still a couple of barn-burning jams. The leadoff track, "One of These Days," is a particularly scorching workout, featuring extended harmonica and guitar solos. After the opener, however, the album settles back into a more relaxed mood than one would have expected from Ten Years After.
Many of the cuts make effective use of dynamic shifts, and the guitar solos are generally more understated than on previous outings.
The production on A Space in Time is crisp and clean, a sound quite different from the denseness of its predecessors

Track Listing:
Side 1: One Of These Days / Here They Come / I'd Love To Change The World / Over The Hill / Baby Won't You Let Me Rock 'N' Roll You
Side 2: Once There Was A Time / Let The Sky Fall / Hard Monkeys / I've Been There Too / Uncle Jam

LABELS: MINT - LIKE-NEW - CLEAN and BRIGHT with NO wear, NO marks/writing and NO spindle traces - THIS COPY, IS IN MY OPINION UNPLAYED
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces have their original DEEP, LIKE-NEW, GLOSSY SHEEN and are practically UNMARKED - MINT(-)
VINYL Audio: OUTSTANDING - CRYSTAL CLEAR, WARM, BEAUTIFULLY RICH and VIBRANT audio. There are NO scratches, NO sticks/jumps, NO clicks or pops and NO surface noise - ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE PLAYBACK. SOUNDS SUPERB throughout and plays to the highest standard with NO groove-wear or distortion (its basically, unplayed). Must be graded MINT for audio and NOT over-graded in ANY way as I use strict RECORD COLLECTOR grading standards (please refer to my feedback and 'About Me' page)
SLEEVE: The original matte sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition. Apart from some storage record impression showing as ring - top front- the sleeve is in GREAT shape (please see photos) - A VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THIS EASILY WORN UNTREATED SLEEVE
