Fleetwood Mac's debut LP was a highlight of the late-'60s British blues boom.
Green's always inspired playing and the general panache of the band as a whole placed them leagues above the overcrowded field.
Elmore James is a big influence on this set, particularly on the tunes fronted by Jeremy Spencer ("Shake Your Moneymaker," "Got to Move").
Spencer's bluster, however, was outshone by the budding singing and songwriting skills of Green.
The guitarist balanced humour and vulnerability on cuts like "Looking for Somebody" and "Long Grey Mare," and with "If I Loved Another Woman," he offered a glimpse of the Latin-blues fusion that he would perfect with "Black Magic Woman."
The album was an unexpected smash in the U.K., reaching number four on the British charts

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Both labels are clean, fresh and unmarked with just one or two light spindle traces - the spindle hole is still quite tight
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Apart from some light, superficial and harmless brush marks from the inner both surfaces shine like new
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Fantastic sound - crystal clear and sharp with an incredibly atmospheric, immediate 'one-take' live feel and my play-check at volume found little to fault this barely played copy - just the occasional click (mostly background) but nothing major
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The cover is clean and unmarked and the front laminate retains a deep glossy sheen. There is some rub to the spine but the text remains mostly clear - fine example
