Ok, Mr Wonderful has too many Elmore James numbers, that's it.

It had almost 2 Elmore James numbers on it: "Coming home" and "Dust my broom", the latter one was essentially stolen from Robert Johnson.
Unfortunately, Jeremy did sound 'Doctor Brown' (written by Wayman Glasco) and his own 'Need your love tonight' too much alike...

About 30 years ago, in the at that time very popular Dutch radio show 'Arbeidsvitaminen', they played (by mistake, I'm sure) 'Need your love tonight' instead of 'Need your love so bad'.
This got me really interested in the 'old' Fleetwood Mac, and since then I really got hooked on blues music.

Pretty much verbatim to what I would've posted.

But then, I prefer the US released English Rose over the non-US release Mr. Wonderful. Only because I heard English Rose in its entirety before I ever heard Mr. Wonderful. Kind of the same train of thought as hearing the US Beatle albums before I heard the UK counterparts. The UK versions just seemed weird, but after I finally understood the UK versions were "how they were meant to be", I grew to prefer them. But, in the case of English Rose & Mr Wonderful, I've chosen to unapologetically prefer the US release. To me it just makes a better album with "Black Magic Woman", "Albatross" & Danny Kirwan's tunes.

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.
