Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

English Rose album offers the hit U.K. single "Albatross," and also their previous single, "Black Magic Woman," which had been a British Top 40 hit. For reasons that no one seems to recall in detail -- but for which we can be grateful -- when it was time to release a second Fleetwood Mac LP in America, producer Mike Vernon and the band didn't just send the existing Mr. Wonderful album across the Atlantic -- a little fine-tuning and retooling was in order. The band had just expanded by one member, to a quintet -- with the addition of guitarist Danny Kirwan -- by the end of 1968, whereas Mr. Wonderful represented them as a four-piece outfit. Additionally, the group had just toured the U.S. for the first time, as a quintet, playing to very enthusiastic audiences, and so there was some point to sending U.S. licensee Epic Records something extra, representing who they were at the start of 1969. And that became the English Rose album, offering three Kirwan-authored instrumentals, plus the hit U.K. single "Albatross," and also their previous single, "Black Magic Woman," which had been a British Top 40 hit (though it was unknown in the U.S., and preceded Santana's hit recording of it by almost two years). Half of Mr. Wonderful was still there, including the opener, "Stop Messin' Round" and "I've Lost My Baby," representing the stronger tracks from that record. Between the paring down of Mr. Wonderful and the addition of the single tracks, English Rose ended up being a stronger album than its predecessor, though without a hit single in America to drive sales and get it exposure, it barely brushed the Top 200 LP listings in the U.S. Strangely enough, despite the overlap with Mr. Wonderful, English Rose was released in England about six months later, probably to help make up for the loss of the group's contract (due to an oversight) by Blue Horizon.

Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwen, Mick Fleetwood & John McVie in pure blues form -- superb! This superb late 1960s LP captures early Fleetwood Mac in pure blues form. With Peter Green on vocals / guitar, Jeremy Spencer (slide guitar / vocals) and Danny Kirwen on vocals / guitar, plus Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John McVie on bass, the music is expressive and from the heart. The all time classics "Black Magic Woman" and "Albatross" are amongst the excellent selections on ‘English Rose’, so that should give you an idea of the caliber of these songs. "Doctor Brown" and “Stop Messin' Around" are great fun with life affirming lyrics, upbeat rhythms and brash confident guitar playing. "Something Inside of Me", "A Love That Burns” and "I've Lost My Baby" are sad, slower numbers with Green wrenching emotional blues sounds from his Les Paul Gibson, like no other player can.
