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 begins 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

Stunning condition - looks like it was pressed yesterday

Beautiful copy which plays throughout with little to fault - nothing but a few soft ticks noted on the quietest parts - impossibly minor - sounds wonderful - a fantastic copy and it goes without saying, one of the finest original *MONO* pressing I have seen

Crisp, clean, sharp and fresh

Barely seen the light of day
