Ten Years After - Ssssh. (1967)

Ten Years After - Ssssh. 
"Ssssh was released at the same time as they appeared at the Woodstock Festival in August, 1969.   This album showcased Alvin Lee's guitar work and surrounded this with some pretty psychy vibes.   

      Sssssh was their first hit album in the U.S. and peaked at number 20 that year.  Fans of TYA regard this album as one of the pinnacle albums.  Alvin Lee was one of the true guitar mavericks of the 60's and no question this album gets to showcase his talents.  

The gatefold album is one of the psychy'est of them all with a cover and centerfold that you will never forget which was photographed by Graham Nash.   This album contains two of my fav TYA tunes with good mirning little schoolgirl" and "I woke up this morning".
