Outer Sleeve (VG+)
Front laminated and generally in VG+ Condition. There are some light creases and edge wear (especially on the titles on the side.)The back of the sleeve is unlaminated and all printing is sound. No labels attached or writing etc..For 1968, this is a very good example after 54 years!! No rips or tears to be seen and no major ring-wear.
The Album (EXC)
Spindle wear noticed but the labels are generally excellent with no writing or labels present. There are some hairline marks visible which do not affect the sound quality. Overall, this is a clean disc and excellent for its age..The sound has slight background surface noise in places which is expected on my top of the range equipment.

A new acid free paper inner sleeve has been supplied.

Postage is by Signed For delivery. The record will be professionally cleaned by machine and a plastic sleeve provided for storage. I separate the outer sleeve and disc in good cardboard packaging with cardboard stiffeners. If you have any queries the please contact me on this site.
Reviews:
In 1967 Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie played in the legendary John Mayall & The Blues Breakers, and were given free studio time during which they recorded five songs. Peter Green was so convinced of this band's musical prowess that he formed it on the spot and named it after the drummer & the bass player. John McVie, however, wasn't convinced yet, and it forced Fleetwood Mac to find a temporary replacement in Bob Burning. After a short while, however, he was as hooked on the Elmore James influenced British Blues, that he left John Mayall to take a risk on a group of unknowns. The rest is history. 'Fleetwood Mac' the self-titled debut album, was released in 1968, and was one of the highlights of the late British Blues movement, climbing to the #4 slot in the UK album charts without producing one single, and managing to stay in the charts for 37 weeks. It was a traditional blues album true to form, but one that also showcased Peter Green's budding singing and songwriting skills; 'I Loved A Woman' has a hint of the Latin Blues fusion he would perfect in 'Black Magic Woman' a year later, while 'Looking For Somebody' balanced humour and vulnerability that would come to characterize their style.
The playing is simply extraordinary. The drums and bass of Fleetwood/McVie really is one of the best ever, holding together a great groove, and keeping it sparse where it’s needed. The playing of Peter Green And Jeremy Spencer is so evenly matched. PG was of course a legend even at that moment, but Jeremy Spencer never gets enough credit for his slide playing, better the Brian Jones and much more soulful.
The tracks are a great mix, and unbelievably almost half the tracks are written by Spencer and/or Green.
Authentic, clean and dirty blues, beautifully produced by Mike Vernon.
