Donovan's Greatest Hits album cover

 

Donovan – Donovan’s Greatest Hits (1969):  This was my first of many Donovan album purchases.  There was a nice booklet included with the album; it is long gone now, of course.  Donovan was often compared with another 1960’s singer-songwriter, Bob Dylan, but this Scottish troubadour has his own sound and has arguably been even more eclectic in his music.  After a few early “flower-power” singles like “Catch the Wind” and “Colours”, Donovan really hit his stride when he presented a stronger and more psychedelic sound with “Sunshine Superman” and its accompanying album with the same name, Sunshine Superman (1966).  This greatest-hits album covers the heart of Donovan’s career.
