Story & Background
"Mr. Wonderful" is famous for its deliberately raw and almost 'live in studio' production, a distinctive sonic imprint of the early Blue Horizon pressings from 1968. Producer Mike Vernon and the band chose to position the amplifiers in a straight line in the centre of the recording room at CBS Studios in London, miking them from the front without resorting to significant isolation or overdub techniques. This radical decision, almost a challenge to the conventions of the era, aimed to capture the raw energy and spontaneous interplay of the three guitars of Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan. The result was an album with an incredibly authentic and immediate sound, a primordial and visceral sound that perfectly embodies the group's blues soul, making it an essential document of their most purely blues period.
