Mystery to Me is the eighth studio album by Fleetwood Mac released on October 15th 1973. It was the second and last album to feature lead guitarist Bob Weston who was dismissed during the subsequent tour following his involvement in an extramarital affair with Mick Fleetwood's wife Jenny.
The cover of the Yardbirds' hit "For Your Love" was a last minute inclusion after the Bob Welch song "Good Things (Come To Those Who Wait)" was dropped. The song eventually resurfaced as "Don't Wait Too Long" on Welch's 1979 album Three Hearts with a backing vocal from Christine McVie.
