The Best of Duane Allman
Artist: Duane Allman
Community Score: 9.00

A decent collection that briefly covers the phases of the all too short career of Duane Allman. Though very little of the material is found on any of Allman's solo albums, the tracks taken from his few recordings are well done. "Been Gone Too Long" is a true standout track from Allman's pre-Allman Brothers days in The Hourglass, as is the fine... Read More

Edged in Blue

Edged in Blue is a solid, if not exactly definitive, retrospective of Rory Gallagher's career that offers a fine introduction to the Irish blues star. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide Read More

Greatest Hits
Artist: Ten Years After

The group's 1968-1970 best, including the hit "Love like a Man" and the Woodstock version of "I'm Going Home." ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide Read More

A Space in Time
Artist: Ten Years After
Community Score: 9.50

A Space in Time was Ten Years After's best-selling album. This was due primarily to the strength of "I'd Love to Change the World," the band's only hit single, and one of the most ubiquitous AM and FM radio cuts of the summer of 1971. TYA's first album for Columbia, A Space in Time has more of a pop-oriented feel than any of their previous... Read More

Essential
Artist: Ten Years After

While it doesn't include all of their prime material, Essential features enough of their best songs to make it a fine introduction. ~ All Music Guide, All Music Guide Read More

Cricklewood Green
Artist: Ten Years After

Cricklewood Green provides the best example of Ten Years After's recorded sound. On this album, the band and engineer Andy Johns mix studio tricks and sound effects, blues-based song structures, a driving rhythm section, and Alvin Lee's signature lightning-fast guitar licks into a unified album that flows nicely from start to finish. Cricklewood... Read More

Physical Graffiti
Artist: Led Zeppelin
Community Score: 8.45

Led Zeppelin returned from a nearly two-year hiatus in 1975 with Physical Graffiti, a sprawling, ambitious double album. Zeppelin treat many of the songs on Physical Graffiti as forays into individual styles, only occasionally synthesizing sounds, notably on the tense, Eastern-influenced "Kashmir." With John Paul Jones' galloping keyboard,... Read More

Calling Card
Artist: Rory Gallagher

Gallagher's second album for Chrysalis -- and last with his longstanding trio of Lou Martin (keyboards), Rod De'Ath (drums) and Gerry McAvoy (bass) -- was a milestone in his career. Although Calling Card was produced by Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover and not surprisingly contained some of his most powerfully driving rockers, tracks like the... Read More

Ssssh/Cricklewood Green
Artist: Ten Years After

Mobile Fidelity reissued two of Ten Years After's best albums, 1969's Ssssh and 1970's Cricklewood Green, on one gold disc in 1997. These records are among the group's best and this is a good way to acquire them, but fans should know that this disc costs more than buying the two records separately. For audiophiles, this won't be a problem, since... Read More
