This is an interesting case: bought the LP already once just after it was published in summer 1968 (31.8.1968 24 mk and sold 17.4.69 18 mk) and sold it next year.

Now I felt that this would be great to hear it again, and it was! The 1st Fleetwood Mac album. Peter Green and John McVie were both in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers 1967 (see: A Hard Road). - Elmore James influenced blues.
