Description
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers "Bare Wires" Decca ?LK.4945 UK 1st press.
Mono Vinyl, LP with a red unboxed Decca Mono, housed in a gate-fold sleeve, and released in 1968. Track A4 is incorrectly labelled 'Open A New Door' on record label and correctly labelled 'Open Up A New Door' on inside of gate-fold sleeve. Track A6 is incorrectly labelled 'I Know You' on record label and correctly labelled 'I Know Now' on inside of gate-fold sleeve.
The vinyl has a couple of surface marks which in no way interfere with the music. The LP played through beautifully on my elderly stereo with no hop, stick or jump. The LP is housed in a gate-fold sleeve which, apart from some very slight lifting of the laminate, shows minimal signs of wear. The spine is intact and completely legible.

"Bare Wires" is a studio album by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, featuring Mick Taylor on guitar, released in 1968 on Decca Records.

The previous Bluesbreakers album "Crusade" saw guitarist Peter Green, who left to form Fleetwood Mac, being replaced by Mick Taylor. This album saw bassist Andy Fraser, who would later join Free, being replaced by Tony Reeves, while drummer Keef Hartley was replaced by Jon Hiseman.
