Description
I do not sell copies or bootleg material.
The LP is in Excellent Condition and is just shy of NM for a first 1968 pressing. There is a light hairline mark on Side 2 tracks 1 and 2 but I played this on my high end Hi Fi and it does not sound on playback. There is some light spindle wear but the disc is shiny black and sounds really good. No labels stuck on the Blue Horizon centres or writing. All tracks and credits easily readable.
The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition with no additional labels or writing and is almost near mint except for slight edge wear and the odd small crease. The inner sleeve has been replaced with a Mobile Fidelity anti-static and non-scratching plastic inner.
I use Signed for delivery and separate the disc and outer sleeve in a reinforced cardboard container for posting. The disc is cleaned on a professional machine. I enclose an outer plastic cover for storage.
Reviews:
A stellar and very well-received early Fleetwood Mac album indeed. Anything with Peter Green on it is worth hearing and he is at a peak here. His phrasing, his tone, his choice of notes...superb! If you focus on Peter Green's material you will be in the presence of England's blues guitar Guru, the equivalent of Mike Bloomfield, and a man so on the money even B.B. King admired him. Those looking to hear the band at their blues heights will find Mr. Wonderful is exactly the album they are looking for. It is a solid continuation of the previous album and really shows the band doing what they did best. Christine McVie had not yet joined the band and Buckingham - Nicks were not even a dream in the bands collective reasoning yet. For me, the early Fleetwood Mac output was them at their best and although the later stuff was great as well, I still go back to their blues material with love and respect.
