Bare Wires was the first Bluesbreakers album of new studio material since A Hard Road, released 16 months before.
In that time, the band had turned over entirely, expanding to become a septet.
Mayall's musical conception had also expanded -- the album began with a 23-minute "Bare Wires Suite," which included more jazz influences than usual and featured introspective lyrics.
The album became Mayall's most successful ever in the U.K., hitting number three

Side 1: Bare Wires - A Suite By John Mayall
WHERE DID I BELONG - START WALKING - OPEN A NEW DOOR - FIRE - I KNOW YOU - LOOK IN THE MIRROR
Side 2: Another Side
I'M A STRANGER / NO REPLY / HARTLEY QUITS /KILLING TIME / SHE'S TOO YOUNG / SANDY

Clean, fresh labels - one tiny spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+

VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Gorgeous sound quality - deep, rich, warm and finely detailed and my play-check at volume found no audible issues of note - lovely copy - exceptionally clean
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The outer laminated surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen. The edges show a little storage rub but nothing major and the spine is straight and true with all text clear and bold
