Fleetwood Mac - Mr. Wonderful (Full album 1968)

Mr. Wonderful is the second studio album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 23 August 1968. This all-blues album was broadly similar to their debut album, albeit with some changes to personnel and recording method. The album was recorded live in the studio with miked amplifiers and PA system, rather than plugged into the board. A horn section was introduced; and Christine Perfect of Chicken Shack was featured on keyboards.
In the USA, the album was not issued under the name Mr. Wonderful, though around half of the tracks appeared on English Rose.
An expanded version of Mr. Wonderful was included in the box set, The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions.

Mr. Wonderful este al doilea album de studio al formației de blues-rock Fleetwood Mac, lansat pe 23 august 1968. Acest album blues este în mare parte similar cu albumul lor de debut, având totuși câteva modificări de personal și în tehnica de înregistrare. Albumul a fost înregistrat live în studio cu microfoane amplasate la difuzorul amplificatoarelor și sistem PA în locul instrumentelor cuplate direct în mixer. A fost inclusă o secțiune de saxofoane iar Christine Perfect din formația Chicken Shack a interpretat la claviaturi.
În Statele Unite albumul nu a fost lansat sub numele de Mr. Wonderful, deși în jur de jumătate din piese au apărut pe albumul English Rose.
O versiune extinsa a albumului a fost inclusă pe setul The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions.
