DESCRIPTION:
I.O.U. is the second studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1982 through Luna Crack Records/I.O.U. Records and reissued in 1985 through Enigma Records. A previous album, Velvet Darkness, was released in 1976 without Holdsworth's consent, therefore making this (in his view) his first official solo release.

Although released in 1982, Gary Husband tells me that the album was recorded in 1979. The original album on LP was release independently by Allan Holdsworth in 1982 (cat no AH-100 black sleeve with gold printing) before being licensed by Enigma issuing the album with a red cover and silver printing - later used for the CD version).
