Mr Wonderful vs English Rose
I first Heard English Rose in 1970 after first buying "Then Play On" without Oh Well on it and The Fleetwood Mac in Chicago release.
I bought it in the double package with "Dog and Dustbin. I liked English Rose better than the first release. It was not until the release of the Blue Horizon boxed set came out in 2004? that I heard Mr Wonderful. While I understand that the release f the Danny Kirwin songs (Jigsaw Puzzle) and Black Magic Woman and Albatross make for a better listening album, I did not hear the Rolling Man studio cut until thirty years later, and to me, that was the jem of the album besides Love That Burns. I too would have dropped one of the Jeremy Spencer tunes if I had a choice or as Johnny Winter did in second Winter decide about sound volume over length. ( In pressing vinyl ,the longer the recording is the lower the volume and depth of recording. In that case you would have a longer record at a lower volume level.
