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

Track Listing:
Side 1: Stop Messin' Round / Coming Home / Rollin' Man / Dust My Broom / Love That Burns / Doctor Brown
Side 2: Need Your Love Tonight / If You Be My Baby / Evenin' Boogie / Lazy Poker Blues / I've Lost My Baby / Trying So Hard To Forget
LABELS: Clean, bright and fresh labels with no evident spindle marks - the centre area is textured/untreated compared to rest of the label (please see close-up photos) - NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and are practically unmarked (there are one or two superficial light hairlines/marks but these have no audio consequence) - EXCELLENT+
VINYL Audio: Fantastic MONO cut - crystal clear, sharp and bright and on playback at a loud volume there are no major audio issues of note - just one or two very light background 'ticks' at the very end of "Love That Burns" (very minor). Otherwise, the record plays beautifully and cleanly throughout with practically silent run-ins and track divisions. I don't think this copy has been played that much at all and there is no groove-wear and no distortion. Overall, a very nice copy indeed, very critically and strictly graded at least an EXCELLENT+ (Side One) / EXCELLENT++ (Side Two) for audio
SLEEVE: The original EJ DAY internal flipback gatefold cover is also in lovely condition with sharp and square edges and spine - where all text is clear and bold. The outer laminated surfaces have a beautiful deep, glass-like glossy sheen with very little rubbing and the inner unlaminated surfaces are clean and unmarked. A small 'knock' to the bottom edge and some laminate cracking to the bottom of the spine (please see close-up photo) are the only things preventing a higher grading and they don't detract from the overall superb appearance of the sleeve - EXCELLENT
The original poly-lined inner is clean with no splits and few signs of handling - EXCELLENT+
