Album Description
Often portrayed as the British Dylan, Donovan Leitch was in fact much more than this. As the highest profile UK folk singer at a time when most folk singers were American, Donovan's association with the summer of love made him one of the most popular singers of the 60's and he made forays into the world of psychedelia, with Sunshine Superman, ahead of most of his contemporaries. Donovan's greatest albums have already been digitally remastered and re-released - the albums that epitomise his time as one of the UK's greatest singers - Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow, The Hurdy Gurdy Man and Barabajagal. EMI. 2006
