Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the 1976 sophomore album by the legendary British band. Formed by vocalist Mike Patto and guitarist Ollie Halsall two years after the demise of cult heroes Patto, the line-up of the band was completed by bassist Keith Ellis (formerly with Van Der Graaf Generator, Juicy Lucy and Spooky Tooth) and drummer Tony Newman. Signing to Virgin Records in 1975, Boxer recorded Bloodletting at the Manor Studio in Oxfordshire in 1976. Featuring guests Chris Stainton, Boz Burrell, Bobby Tench and Tim Hinkley, the album was withdrawn from release the same year, finally appearing in 1979. Esoteric.
