 Mr. Wonderful is the second album by the blues-rock band, Fleetwood Mac, released in 1968.
Like their first album, this was an all-blues affair, but this time the band had made a few changes.
The album was recorded live at CBS studios, London with miked amplifiers and PA system, rather than plugged into the board to give the record a fresh, immediate feel.
They also added horns and featured a friend of the band on keyboards, Christine Perfect (later McVie) of Chicken Shack.
Four of the songs, "Dust My Broom", "Doctor Brown", "Need Your Love Tonight" and "Coming Home", all begin with an identical Elmore James riff

Track Listing:
Side 1: Stop Messin' Round / Coming Home / Rollin' Man / Dust My Broom / Love That Burns / Doctor Brown
Side 2: Need Your Love Tonight / If You Be My Baby / Evenin' Boogie / Lazy Poker Blues / I've Lost My Baby / Trying So Hard To Forget

LABELS: Clean, bright and fresh labels with only light spindle wear - EXCELLENT++
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen. There are some superficial light hairlines/marks (nothing major) - these have no audio consequence - the playback is superb - EXCELLENT
VINYL Audio: Fantastic cut - very upfront with a fresh, immediate, one-take live feel - crystal clear, sharp and bright and on playback at a loud volume there are no major audio issues of note - no scratches, no clicks or pops and just the smallest touch of background crackle in one or two places (but this really is very, very light and very, very minor). The record plays beautifully throughout with no groove-wear, no distortion, sounds sensational and is critically graded a strong EXCELLENT(+) for audio - great sounding copy
SLEEVE: The original EJ DAY internal flipback gatefold cover is clean and bright on the outside laminated surfaces (with just some record impression and corner bumping). The inside however, has suffered from the two sides of the gatefold sticking together a some point. On separation some paper loss has occurred which the original owner has touched-up with black pen. At first glance this is not too noticeable (please see close-up photos). Graded VERY GOOD
The original poly-lined inner is clean and white with no splits and few signs of handling - EXCELLENT++
