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.[2] A previous album, Velvet Darkness, was released in 1976 without the consent of Holdsworth,[3] therefore making this (in his view) his first official solo release.
