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

Both surfaces shine like-new
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Sounds wonderful and plays with little to fault - just the (very) occasional low-level tick noted - barely worth a mention - and I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - great copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Crisp, clean, sharp and fresh - very slight rub to the bottom edge - nothing really - really fine example
