As Graham Nash said in 1967: Donovan's songs could stop wars.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm cometothesunshine:

They are very long indeed.

You know, I could have tripped out easy on this show, but I've changed my ways.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:18pm cometothesunshine:

Usually I save the hits for the end of these spotlights, but I wanted you all to be still conscious.

Good move
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:21pm cometothesunshine:

I am glad Rod doesn't get to sing on this, my favorite kind of Beck group
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:22pm myron feld:

Not a Rod fan, Andrew?
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:23pm cometothesunshine:

Not a super fan of Rod, no.

And I wear that well.

Beatnicks are out to make it rich!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:26pm myron feld:

A little out of time, but I don't mind. Anyway, Donovan is great. I saw him at Madison Square Garden in 1969. He played on a stage covered in white flowers. Of course.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:27pm cometothesunshine:

That must have been great, Myron
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:28pm cometothesunshine:

I saw him perform at a Tower Records and I was less than a foot from him, it seemed.

Wow, that's so cool you were so close to him, Andrew
Avatar 6:29pm johnyoung1234:

...and her returned the favor by writing the line "Sky of blue and sea of green" for 'Yellow Submarine'!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm cometothesunshine:

I think this show is my payback for that proximity.
Avatar ☀ 6:32pm mce1965:

Hopefully he had a Mellow Smello about him
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:33pm dreamyandseedy:

loving these images! and the music of course!

Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:38pm cometothesunshine:

He's definitely on that record.

Never heard this demo version! Thanks!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm cometothesunshine:

Glad you like it - MH - there are some great rarities on this episode
  6:41pm julie:

I love him so much

He is one-of-a-kind, Julie.

Sammy!?!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:43pm cometothesunshine:

Yes, lots of surprises.
Avatar 6:43pm sw2442:

Donovan was a great jazz vocalist...
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:45pm cometothesunshine:

such gorgeous arrangements.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm cometothesunshine:

And he is rarely mentioned in the field of baroque pop.

Such a sweet melody
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:50pm cometothesunshine:

I love the B section.
Avatar ♥ 6:51pm Beantown Doug:

Six years ago, by pure chance, I crossed paths with Donovan at Boston's Logan Airport. There he was, unrecognized by everyone except me. In total surprise I called out his name, "Donovan Leitch!" and he extended his hand to me, a total stranger. We shook, and had a truly wonderful exchange. Donovan assured me he was planning a Boston concert appearance, and two years later I was in the front row.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:52pm cometothesunshine:

Wonderful, Doug. Was Donovan still flying Translove Airways?
Avatar ♥ 6:53pm Beantown Doug:

HAH! He had just arrived from China.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:54pm cometothesunshine:

Of course he did.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:54pm Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Enjoying this a lot. thanks.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:55pm cometothesunshine:

Thanks, a favorite of mine too SCL
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:55pm cometothesunshine:

Pastoral Pop to the max
Avatar 6:55pm sw2442:

I must ask ask...who is the arranger on these songs.. my guess is Mickie Most or Donovan himself...I'm probably wrong though...
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm cometothesunshine:

sw2442 - no, neither arranged the records.
Avatar ♥ 6:58pm Beantown Doug:

Jenny Boyd.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm Kim Reynolds:

Enjoying the Sunshine!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm cometothesunshine:

Usually I take pains to mention the arrangers, but they seldom gave credit. It is possible John Paul Johns helped on some, but I believe there were many uncredited people who scored these records.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm cometothesunshine:

Thanks, Kim!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm cometothesunshine:

Seems kind of the perfect Sunshine show.
  7:00pm MH:

Who was Mad John?
Avatar 7:01pm sw2442:

Yeah...John Paul Jones would be probably bebe it....he did a lotta arranging for many artists and groups he appeared on...
Avatar 7:01pm johnyoung1234:

There is a Facebook group 'Real Autograph Collector's Club' that someone associated with Donovan is aware of. Donovan has a special offer for members this month for any RACC member that buys a signed item from him through his website. He will sign and personalize LPs, CDs, etc. from the site. A friend of mine just received a really nice item directly from him in Ireland from the site. He even signed the customs form!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:02pm cometothesunshine:

sw2442 - John Paul Jones did many sessions with Mickie Most, especially.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:02pm cometothesunshine:

Nice info, JY1234!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:03pm cometothesunshine:

A seagull flies, a tear in my eye...
Avatar 7:04pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

Uh, oh, I missed some essential Donovan! Hey Andrew, everyone. Andrew, do you know if there is a good compilation/b**tleg of those BBC tracks?
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:04pm cometothesunshine:

I would love to hear the demo of this. I saw someone online had found an acetate.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:04pm cometothesunshine:

This is a very wild and swinging Los Angeles production.
Avatar 7:05pm johnyoung1234:

Here is the link: donovan.ie...

Make sure to put in that you are a RACC member in the comments when/if you purchase so you get an extra goodie from him. You could also mention my name (John Young). I've been in direct contact with them.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:05pm cometothesunshine:

Nothing official, Cha Cha - not sure about boots.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:08pm cometothesunshine:

Meet me under the whale...
Avatar 7:08pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

@7:05 cometothesunshine: what a pity! Sometimes the boots can surpass official releases (Syd-era Floyd BBC stuff comes to mind here) but would be nicer to give the artist some financial reward as well, no matter how little it is nowadays.
Avatar ♥ 7:08pm Beantown Doug:

"Celeste" is one of my all-time favorites. It's a major "comfort zone" track for me.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:08pm cometothesunshine:

Well, there should be an official Donovan set - I would be happy to work on it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:09pm PaulRobeson1920:

Warm greetings Ya’ll! Wow a program of scintillating 1960's sounds... right up my ally! Haha

Avatar 7:11pm sw2442:

I agree Andrew...I would buy an official Donovan BBC set...especially if you produce, compile, master, and write liner notes for it...
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:11pm cometothesunshine:

Some groovy girls in this set, especially.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:12pm myron feld:

I first heard "Picking Up The Sunshine" on that Gathered By Coincidence set you just posted. Such a great song AND collection!

I was really happy to get my copy - it was a UK record store day thing.

There is an RSD 45 too, found on my last trip to San Diego (when I stayed with you).
Avatar 7:14pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl:

Now my fave Donovan track!

Is the Mike Minor who co-produced "You Just Gotta Know My Mind" the same Mike Minor from Petticoat Junction?
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:18pm cometothesunshine:

Hmm...maybe Myron
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:20pm PaulRobeson1920:

Hahaha what a show!
Avatar 7:21pm sw2442:

Yah...my second favorite Donovan song...I kinda wish it was longer...

There's a super promotional film for "Oh Gosh"
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:21pm cometothesunshine:

Oh Gosh!
Avatar 7:21pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

I guess this is my favourite Donovan album, although I am not exactly a record collector, I simply had to have it both in stereo and in mono (same as Hurdy Gurdy man)
Avatar 7:23pm sw2442:

I've gotta look for that Oh Gosh promo on YT...thanks...
  7:23pm MH:

Though a bit battered, I still have the original box set with all the colourful kid's lyrics sheets
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:23pm cometothesunshine:

It is quite a Gift!
  7:24pm MH:

if you're a garden!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:25pm cometothesunshine:

I am guessing we are the garden (and Donovan is the flower).
Avatar 7:25pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

@7:23 MH: mine's rather worn as well, but everything there, actually the inserts are in really good condition. Only regarding the stereo one though - the mono I have is simply the 2 records with no box...
  7:26pm MH:

Yes, "people and flowers are one in the same."
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:27pm cometothesunshine:

Indeed
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:29pm cometothesunshine:

He is very underrated as a songwriter, considering the volume of fantastic melodies he composed.

  7:32pm MH:

I remember the tv commercials with Donovan's music...
Avatar 7:32pm johnyoung1234:

Wear your love like lemons...
Avatar 7:34pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

Yes he is very underrated as a songwriter, but he seems to have been very underrated as a serious artist in general back in the 60s. He was dismissed - at least to an extent - as a Dylan for teenyboppers; that definition is pretty far from his actual work.
Avatar ♥ 7:34pm Beantown Doug:

For me, when things aren't going well, and life gets especially tough, there is "Celeste."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:34pm PaulRobeson1920:

Underrated is one way to view it : ) ... I would argue the culture had been repressed by Nixon era Public Policy's.... Brilliant music wow
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:37pm PaulRobeson1920:

Policy* Haha o my...Full disclosure, I studied 20th century American History... a quality SUNY education baby!
  7:39pm MH:

Kate Bush does a nice version of this
Avatar 7:39pm sw2442:

Lord of the Reedy River is another favorite...I'm guessing on Mary Hopkin's version on Postcard, Donovan and maybe Paul are also on it...do you know Andrew?
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:39pm cometothesunshine:

Donovan appears briefly in the film If It's Tuesday...performing this song.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:41pm cometothesunshine:

sw2442 - that would make sense, given the bootleg of Donovan and McCartney from that period.

I didn't know he wasn't cool. I just think his super sincerity was easy to make fun of.

Donovan liked to drop in a lot of names in his songs. Juanita...

Pamela Jo...
Avatar ♥ 7:59pm Beantown Doug:

Having met Donovan briefly, in an impromptu way, I can confirm his absolute sincerity. The eternal Hippie, he was insistent on wanting to know everything he could find out about me.

I tried to use the live versions if they rivaled or bettered the released recordings.
Avatar ♥ 8:00pm Mailman Tom:

I first heard Donovan's music in 1966. Been a fan ever since!
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:00pm cometothesunshine:

Hopefully we've made him a few extra fans today.
Avatar 8:01pm Olivia Greene:

Donovan really has the chops - that's especially apparent to me on the live transcriptions.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:02pm cometothesunshine:

he's a very natural performer
Avatar 8:03pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

@8:00 cometothesunshine: probably, and you have offered some ear candy for old fans - gotta check the first hour from the archives.
This natural and super sincere quality is what makes his music beautiful and timeless.

Thanks, JY! I do appreciate you all listening.

BBC Folk makes sense, considering the source for American Folk came from the British Isles.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:21pm PaulRobeson1920:

Donovan 19 years old in that interview! Same as the average age of the American Solider in Vietnam. 19 years old
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22pm PaulRobeson1920:

WWII average age was 26. For reference

Buffy St Marie had it right.

Jersey Thursday from Fairytale has an awesome driving melodic urgency that's hard to beat!

Yes, so many great tracks, Foxman

My favorite Donovan song ever...like Oh Gosh, I wish Lalena was longer...still a special song.
Avatar ♥ 8:38pm Beantown Doug:

Agree about Lalena.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:38pm cometothesunshine:

This version is an incredible one. There are three surviving BBC versions.
  8:40pm Richard Whig:

loving the BBC recordings!
Avatar 8:41pm johnyoung1234:

You should be the person to compile the BBC sessions on a disc for release...
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:41pm cometothesunshine:

Thanks, Richard - I dug through a bunch, there are many more.

Avatar 8:47pm sw2442:

Thank you Andrew...it was great. Donovan is my favorite male UK 60's singer, so this was fun.
