* Classic Rock Magazine review Ssssh.- by Claudia Elliott

After taking Woodstock by storm in the summer of ‘69, Ten Years After continued skyward with the December release of their third studio album, Ssssh. Much lauded for his quicksilver guitar pyrotechnics, Alvin Lee also sang like a rock’n’roller in the tradition of Jerry Lee Lewis or Eddie Cochran. With Leo Lyons at head-tossing full pelt on bass, Chick Churchill pounding keys, Ric Lee on drums, for a few golden years they were unstoppable.

Taking centre stage is If You Should Love Me, which skates along astride Lee’s almost incognito speed guitar. The third CD in this set (also available as two LPs) is a live recording from Helsinki in December 1969, rescued from Finnish radio archives and remixed. The Cream-like performance includes I May Be Wrong from ‘68 live album Undead, No Title from Stonedhenge and The Hobbit, with its lengthy drum solo.

The 18-minute finale, I Can’t Keep From Crying Sometimes, sees Lee taunting bursts of Sunshine of Your Love, Foxy Lady and Peter Gunn. Good Morning Little Schoolgirl appears in both studio and live form. Irresistibly feral, even by the standard of ‘69. Great balls of fire indeed.
