Fleetwood Mac's debut LP was a highlight of the late-'60s British blues boom.
Green's always inspired playing and the general panache of the band as a whole placed them leagues above the overcrowded field.
Elmore James is a big influence on this set, particularly on the tunes fronted by Jeremy Spencer ("Shake Your Moneymaker," "Got to Move").
Spencer's bluster, however, was outshone by the budding singing and songwriting skills of Green.
The guitarist balanced humour and vulnerability on cuts like "Looking for Somebody" and "Long Grey Mare," and with "If I Loved Another Woman," he offered a glimpse of the Latin-blues fusion that he would perfect with "Black Magic Woman."
The album was an unexpected smash in the U.K., reaching number four on the British charts

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked with less than a handful of light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but harmless light hairlines visible under bright light
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Fantastic sound - crystal clear and sharp with an atmospheric, immediate 'one-take' live feel and my play-check at volume found practically nothing to fault - just the (very) occasional one-off tick - nothing really - sounds superb - great copy and very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Fine example - deep unmarked gloss to the front laminate - sharp edges with just a little rub to the spine - the back is clean with just some marking in the bottom spine corner
