Mr. Wonderful
Mr. Wonderful is the second studio album by Fleetwood Mac, released on 23 August 1968 on Blue Horizon. It followed Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, issued earlier the same year, and finds the band still firmly in British blues rock territory, long before the pop-leaning line-ups that would later bring them worldwide fame.
The album did not get a US release, though around half of its tracks turned up on English Rose for American listeners. An expanded version later appeared in the box set The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions, which makes it easier to hear the record alongside the rest of the band's work for the label. It suits anyone curious about the earliest chapter of the Fleetwood Mac story, when the sound was rooted in the blues.
