Alvin Lee’s Lightning Fingers: Ten Years After ‘Ten Years After’ White Label Promo (GP-116)
Today’s entry features a rare Japanese compilation from the British blues-rock icons. We are examining the 1972 White Label Promo of the self-titled compilation Ten Years After, released on the Deram label (manufactured by King Record Co., Ltd.) with the catalog number GP-116.
A Showcase of British Blues Power
Released in 1972, this compilation serves as a perfect introduction to the band’s high-octane blues-rock sound. Fronted by the lightning-fast guitarist Alvin Lee, the album features their most celebrated tracks.
Key Tracks: The setlist includes the Woodstock-conquering anthem “I’m Going Home” (presented here as a live recording), the heavy riffing of “Love Like A Man,” and their cover of Willie Dixon’s “Spoonful.” It captures the raw energy and technical proficiency that made them one of the biggest touring acts of the late 60s and early 70s.Rare “King Records” White Label
This specific copy is a highly collectible Promo Sample, manufactured by the renowned King Record Co., Ltd.
- White Labels: The disc features plain white labels with promotional text, distinguishing it from the standard retail release. These early pressings from King Records are legendary among audiophiles for their superior sound quality and quiet surfaces.
- Packaging: The record is housed in a deluxe Gatefold Sleeve.
- Inclusions: This copy comes complete with the original Obi strip, making it a pristine example for collectors of Japanese vinyl.
It is a fantastic overview of the band’s golden era, presented in the highest quality Japanese format.
