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

LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of clean, fresh labels - barely a spindle trace to be seen
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are practically unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Fantastic cut - very upfront with an immediate, one-take live feel and crystal clear, razor sharp sound and my play- check at volume found practically nothing to fault - an occasional low-level background tick noted (nothing really) but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - superb copy - barely played and they really don't come much better
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again a superb example - crisp and sharp with a deep gloss to the outer laminated surfaces and clean, unmarked inner surfaces
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
As crisp, white and fresh as the day it was made - barely seen the light of day
