"A Space in Time" is the seventh album by the British blues rock band, Ten Years After. It was released in August 1971 by Capitol Records. A departure in style from their previous albums, "A Space in Time" is less 'heavy' than previous albums and includes more acoustic guitar, perhaps influenced by the success of Led Zeppelin who were mixing acoustic songs with heavier numbers. The album also contains their biggest hit; I'd Love To Change The World, the third track on the album. Criticising capitalist and socialist greed alike, and calling for social change the song features a speedy, 30-second guitar solo by lead vocalist Alvin Lee. Although this was their biggest hit they rarely played it live.
