Artist:	DONOVAN
Title:	Mellow Yellow
Label:	EMI (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EMI 73567CD

2005 remaster of Donovans' 2nd album, originally released by Epic Records in 1967. Part 2 of the UK-only series celebrating Donovan's 40th year in music. "...with Donovan's voice richer and more resonant than ever in this new transfer, and the arrangements by John Cameron and John Paul Jones now fully exposed and heard in all the timbres that were present in the studio; this is a sonic delight as well a spellbinding mix of psychedelia, blues, folk, Eastern music, and pop like nothing else that Columbia or any other major label -- except EMI and Capitol with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album -- was releasing in 1967. It's been augmented with ten bonus tracks, three previously released ('Epistle to Dippy,' 'Preachin' Love,' 'There Is a Mountain'), but making their debut with truly killer sound so that you can even hear the action on the strings of the acoustic guitar deep in the mix of 'There Is a Mountain,' and six previously unissued demos, solo acoustic, and some works-in-progress, including early incarnations of evolving songs such as 'Good Time' and another attempt at 'Superlungs' where Donovan gets into some surprising pop and garage rock grooves, respectively.' --All Music Guide.

Title:	The Hurdy Gurdy Man
Label:	EMI (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EMI 73568CD

2005 remaster, originally released by Epic Records in 1968. UK-only reissue, with 7 bonus track, detailed booklet of notes. "A product of several contacts between Donovan and Eastern culture, principally growing out of his discovery of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the album also reflected the product of several infatuations and a highly experimental mindset, and all of it flows forth here in ravishing detail -- the chants, ragas, and drones heard in between the more folk-oriented ballads -- all in high-resolution digital audio, which now makes this album sound like one of the most delightfully spacey and intoxicating releases of its era, and there was no shortage of records shooting for those effects; but heard here the way they were meant to be, these songs now strike a careful balance between substantive, defined ballads, and bolder effect pieces that work more directly on the psyche. It's all not unlike the effect of drugs, and makes this one of the truest products of its era in terms of its effect on the listener.' --All Music Guide. "In terms of musical styles, the album is probably Donovan's most wide-ranging. From the full-on rock to the title track to the ornate pop of 'Jennifer Juniper,' via jazz, calypso and Celtic/eastern fusion."

Format:	LP

Catalog #:	SC 5028LP

"When Donovan went electric in 1966 he jumped headfirst into the deep end -- and the splash was felt all around the world. Here's an exact repro of the U.S. version of Donovan's hypnotic Sunshine Superman LP, in ultra-punchy mono, on premium vinyl. Showcasing the international smash single of the same name, Sunshine Superman -- with its exotic tapestries, sitar-laced psychedelia and unrelenting folk-rock vibe -- has only grown more irresistible over the years. All-analog mastering from the original mono masters."
