Original 1977 Boxer Absolutely New Album Rock Promo Poster Epic Records 30"

Description

Boxer was a rock band formed by keyboardist Mike Patto and guitarist Ollie Halsall in 1975. They signed to Virgin and three albums followed, Below the Belt (1975), Absolutely (1977) and Bloodletting (1979), which also featured Bobby Tench and Boz Burrell. The band dissolved after Absolutely when Patto became ill. Absolutely was the second rock music album recorded by the band Boxer, released during 1977 on the Epic record label. Singer/pianist Mike Patto had assembled a new-look lineup including bassist Tim Bogert from Vanilla Fudge, guitarist Adrian Fisher from Sparks, Chris Stainton from Joe Cocker and many others and drummer Eddie Tuduri from the American band Wha-Koo.

The album was also released in the U.S. with a different cover.[2]

There had been rumours that George Martin was interested in working with Boxer.[3] The album was eventually produced by Jeff Glixman, who had worked with the Allman Brothers and Kansas.

Patto collaborated with all the band members to write the songs on this album. ""Rich Man's Daughter"" is a reworking of the same song recorded by the Boxer lineup for Bloodletting, which was recorded in 1976. This album was the last recording made by Patto.
