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 releases had…
Ten Years After was a British blues-rock quartet consisting of Alvin Lee (born December 19, 1944, died March 6, 2013), guitar and vocals; Chick Churchill (born January 2, 1949), keyboards; Leo Lyons (born November 30, 1944) bass; and Ric Lee (born October 20, 1945), drums.

Marauder is a live album by the English rock band Magnum. It was released in 1980 on Jet Records. Magnum recorded Marauder over one night at London's Marquee Club on 15 December 1979. It was an attempt by Jet Records to revive the success of the debut album Kingdom of Madness following the failure of Magnum II. The album was recorded on multi-track by former-Ten Years After bass player Leo Lyons, who had recorded Magnum II, and mixed by Chris Tsangarides.
Considering Mountain stole the show at Woodstock, Leslie West seems very underrated as a guitarist today, which is quite strange, cos guitarists only get better! Just looking through the guest musician's listing, we have Joe Lynn Turner on some vocals, Leo Lyons (Ten Years After) on bass, Bernard Purdie on drums, and Savoy Brown's Kim Simmonds on some of the guitar. Other than this, the songs are excellent and mostly original compositions, and the versions of Otis Redding's Respect and the standard, Stormy Monday, are in a class of their own. With no pun intended, Leslie West is up there with the big boys, and should be mentioned on the same breath as Clapton, Beck, Page, Hendrix et-all.
