                             German - CBS - S 63 200 

RARE.... Original 1968 GERMAN first pressing with cool "The BLUES" sticker on front cover (very rare, haven't ever seen before !)

Fleetwood Mac released in 1968 is the very first FLEETWOOD MAC album = jam packed British blues with killer flourishes from beginning to end. The vocals are shared between Peter Green and second guitarist Jeremy Spencer.

Hardcore blues. That's what the record is, from top to bottom. And what could you expect from a group that graduated out of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers? The only question is: why did they have to quit Mayall if they didn't do anything different from what they did with him? Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood thought that a new hardcore blues band, with some injection of new blood and a relatively fresh approach, would rekindle the interest in 'roots-rock', so shamefully lost since the advent of the 'psychedelic' era. Thus the Mac took on an honourable function: serve as 'shining knights' of prime unadulterated blues-rock at an epoch when everybody was trying to get away from it. They performed that function with verve - proudly carrying the blues on their shoulders through 1967 and 1968 and caressing it as best they could until it became obvious that other bands, starting from the Beatles and especially the Stones, were getting back to their 'roots' as well - that's when the Mac started relinquishing theirs.

CONDITION: The Cover: The delicate German laminated cover has survived pretty well over the past 44+ years even with light shelf wear around edges, bit of lamination scuffing which is normal for '60s UK Lps. Rating it VG(+), has a light line over the A & C in "Mac" ... there are no split seams or writing not mentioned..and includes the never seen sticker: "The Blues" on front cover  

The Vinyl: is shiny on both sides, will rate it "VG" and better, having some very small hairlines and has little noticable surface, but plays vbrant and bright, having NO dreaded groove wear ... There is a dark line on one side of UK CBS label and D.B. on other side of label.  

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
