Fleetwood Mac the self-titled debut album, was released in 1968, and was one of the highlights of the late British blues movement, climbing to the number 4 slot in the UK album charts without producing one single, and managing to stay in the charts for 37 weeks.

It was a traditional blues album true to form, but one that also showcased Peter Green's budding singing and songwriting skills; I Loved a Woman has a hint of the latin blues fusion he would perfect in Black Magic Woman a year later, while Looking for Somebody balanced humour and vulnerability that would come to characterise their style.
