Cricklewood Green

More than 50 years after its original release, "Cricklewood Green", one of Ten Years After's most beloved albums, will receive an expanded deluxe edition. The fully remastered release will be released on August 28th, 2026, via Chrysalis Records and, in addition to the original album, also contains rare recordings, a never before released demo and an impressive live recording from Fillmore East.

When "Cricklewood Green" was released in 1970, Ten Years After was at the absolute peak of their career. After their legendary performance at Woodstock, the British band grew into one of the biggest names in blues rock. With guitarist Alvin Lee, bassist Leo Lyons, drummer Ric Lee and keyboardist Chick Churchill, the group developed its own sound in which Chicago blues, solid rock, psychedelia, boogie and early progressive influences came together.

The album was recorded at the famous Olympic Studios in London and contains classics such as "Love Like A Man", "50 000 Miles Beneath My Brain", "Working On The Road" and "Sugar The Road". "Love Like A Man" in particular grew into an iconic song and reached the British Top 10 in 1970.

For this deluxe edition, the original album has been completely remastered. In addition, the release contains bonus tracks, including the recently recovered instrumental demo "Cricklewood Jam". This recording, made during the original album sessions, is now officially released for the 1st time.

The 2nd CD and LP contain a completely remixed recording of the 2nd set that Ten Years After played at Bill Graham's legendary Fillmore East on February 27th, 1970. The mix is provided by Charlie Russell and shows the band at the absolute peak of its live reputation, including a more than 11 minutes long performance of "I'm Going Home".

In addition to the music, this deluxe edition includes new liner notes by music journalist Nigel Williamson, interviews with band members, never before published photos and rare archival footage.
