Born out of Mayalls Bluesbreakers 1968. Green wanted his old friend Mick Fleetwood for the new group and talked Mayall into replacing him with Aynsley Dunbar. John McVie was also a first choice, but he prefered the steady job with Bluesbreakers and it took some time to lure him in, using part of his name for the group title was only part of the persuation. Jeremy Spencer was in from the start together with Bob Brunning, the latter replaced rather quickly by - John McVie. The music here is no-nonsense blues and the album was very well recieved in UK, reaching #4. It's so well done, with lots of feeling and top vocals it goes straight to my heart and I still spin it a lot. The mono mix sounds a lot like the stereo with only small differences. Probably partly a different mix, but made in a way to copy the stereo result. Many labels did this so the radio play wouldn't differ too much from the record you bought. Issued in US as stereo only (EPIC BN26402). First UK with structured label as shown here and laminated cover.(FXÄC*) (BLÖH*)
You may be right, there are some small differences. But they still sound very much alike. Maybe it is a separate mix, but made to imitate the stereo result. That would make sense - there were no mono promos in England and stock monos were used for radio play, so no matter what kind You bought they would sound like the version You heard on radio. I know a few other UK labels had that strategy though not all.
True mono mix. Listen to I loved Another Woman, it's much drier in mono.
