A Space in Time was Ten Years After's seventh and best-selling album. More pop-oriented in feel than any of their previous releases and 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: Clean, bright and fresh with one/two spindle traces at most - this copy has barely been played - NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces retains their original deep, like new glossy sheen with no dulling - there is a superficial mark on 'Hard Monkeys' but this has absolutely no audio consequence - NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT+
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio reproduction throughout - beautifully clear, clean, bright and warm audio with no major sound issues of note - no scratches, no sticks/jumps, no surface noise and no loud click/pops - just a couple of light ticks on the quiet fade-in to 'One Of These Days' (very minor) - otherwise, this pressing is beautifully clean - one of the finest I have heard - and critically graded as EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT for audio
SLEEVE: The original matt sleeve is has very little wear to speak of - the edges and spine are crisp, square and unworn. A little paper loss to the top front corner is the only point worthy of mention (please see close-up photos) - EXCELLENT
