Ssssh Box Set

Chrysalis Records just announced a 3 CD deluxe edition of Ten Years After’s 1969 album, "Ssssh", featuring the original album newly mixed from the original tapes and a newly discovered live recording, sleeve notes and unseen photos. Also available on as 2 LP set, out on October 31st, 2025

Originally released in 1969, "Ssssh" marked Ten Years After’s breakthrough into mainstream rock, blending blues riffs with the raw energy of British psychedelia.

56 years later, Chrysalis are proud to present the album in its most expansive form to date. Featuring the original 1969 mix, the album has also been newly mixed by Charlie Russell from the original ¼ production multi track tapes, offering superb fresh sonic detail, while the 3rd disc contains a newly discovered live recording from the Finnish radio archives of the bands stunning performance at the Kulttuuritalo Hall in Helsinki on December 3rd, 1969, recorded just months after the bands’ career altering performance at Woodstock.

At the centre of this hardcover edition are newly written liner notes by Nigel Williamson, testimonial from Joe Bonamassa and previously unseen photographs.

The 2 LP vinyl edition was remixed from the original 7 track 1” master tapes and remastered by Phil Kinrade and cut at half speed at AIR Mastering.

Ten Years After’s Leo Lyons on the deluxe reissue: “'Ssssh' was the 1st record that Ten Years After made on an 8 track machine rather than the 4 track machines used on previous albums. We could finally separate things out, experiment with overdubs, and actually hear the instruments breathe. Before that, you’d often have to bounce tracks together just to make room, which meant losing quality or committing to a sound too early in the process. I’m really looking forward to hearing the remixed and remastered record. There may be things in those old tapes that no one’s heard yet just waiting to be revealed”.
