This collection is a very good summary of what Donovan had to offer. The versions of "Catch The Wind" and "Colors" on this CD are the original folk (acoustic) versions, as opposed to the rock-band versions found on the original LP of the greatest hits. Why this was done, I don't know, but it's OK with me, because that is how I first knew Donovan, and his evolution into a rock artist had a similar shock value, although lesser, to Bob Dylan's. The thing to remember is that both were folk artists first, and they brought that sensibility to rock music, thereby changing it. And change it they did! "Sunshine Superman" and "Mellow Yellow" not only have fascinating lyrics and superb music, but the vocals - how cool can you get? I love "Epistle To Dippy" because of the mindbending humor and the tight, tight production - a most excellent track, one of my absolute favorites. "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" has colorful imagery, spiritual lyrics and magical music - it's practically a hymn. "Jennifer Juniper" is special to me because it has some French lyrics, and I was learning French at the time it was released. Also, the hot book at the time was "Valley of the Dolls", which had a main character named Jennifer. I always associated that song with her, and it took on added poignancy when Sharon Tate, who played Jennifer in the film, was murdered. "Hurdy Gurdy Man" is a musical and poetic explosion that really blew my mind when I first heard it. "Lalena" is a more personal piece, a somber song about a woman who leads a suffocating life. "Atlantis" has a beautiful spoken description of how that island might have been, and it ends with a rousing "Hey Jude"-style repeated sentence, and fades out. And "Barabajagal" - "Love is hot, Truth is molten..." The song is funky and boiling. What else can I say?
If you want to explore Donovan more deeply, the "Sunshine Superman" album is a masterpiece, with my favorite tracks being "The Trip", "Guinevere" and "Celeste". Also, the "Mellow Yellow" album is almost as good, with "Sand and Foam", "Writer In the Sun" and "Sunny South Kensington" being standouts.
