Thread Name: Who Likes Donovan? Favourite Song?
Subject: RE: Who Likes Donovan? Favourite Song?
really enjoyed reading this thread and amazed its been running 4 years+

My favourite song is the one playing atthis moment on my headphones, The live version of Celeste on the "Donovan In Concert" album recorded live at the anahiem convention centre (1968) IMHO this is the finest collection of songs and performance Don ever did! i have most of his work but this is his jewel! "my songs are merely dreams, they come a-visting-my mind" beautiful! Also the recording of Young Girl Blues on this album is the best for me. Poor Cow (love) exceptional and the verion of happiness runs he released on Barabajal is a poorer version than "happiness runs" that can be found here! You can order it online at HMV on CD-my Original Vynal has worn out

Sand and foam is amazing too as are all the above mentioned!
Sunny goodge st is where Dono used to score way back when(allegedley)
Hey Gyp (dig the slowness kick ass) did the animals cover that in the sixties! plus season of the witch, sunshine superman!
If u havent got beatcafe yet - shame on you! its his best recording since open road! going to see him in may in wolverhampton! am 24 and been a fan for over 10 years- a dream come true!

Peace, love and bannana skins!
Keep the music alive!
