Absolutely (Boxer album)


Absolutely is the second studio album by the band Boxer, released in 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's band along with drummer Eddie Tuduri from the American band Wha-Koo.
The album was also released in the U.S. with a different cover.
There had been rumours that George Martin was interested in working with Boxer. 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 Patto's last recording.
