Because of the delay in releasing Donovan's albums in the U.K., in order to keep up with his new work, the American albums Sunshine Superman and Mellow Yellow were condensed into a single compilation.

U.K. fans missed out on three songs from the proper Sunshine Superman release: Ferris Wheel, The Trip (although this was released as the B-side to the Sunshine Superman single) and the studio version of The Fat Angel (a live version was issued on Donovan in Concert. They also were denied five songs from Mellow Yellow: Mellow Yellow (although this was released as a single), Bleak City Woman, House of Jansch, Museum and Sunny South Kensington.

I do not regard this as part of the official canon because there's nothing on this you can't have if you own the U.S. albums. The only items of real worth on the U.K. version is the superb artwork by Mick Taylor and Sheena McCall and the little poem by Donovan.

The six missing tracks could've easily been slipped out on a special EP, with one on the B-side of There is a Mountain (replacing Sand and Foam which was released on this album). I don't really understand why Pye used old material on their dull EP releases instead of using songs already in the can that had not been heard by the U.K. public. At least the album was pretty long for those days - twelve cuts amounting to around forty-eight minutes was quite generous.

The front cover is mainly white, with a cool cartoon drawing of lots of characters. Some are from the songs, some from popular comics - Superman, Batman and Spiderman are all in there - and quite a few are from myths, legends and children's books like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The animals and people are arranged to make a big S, forming the initial letter of both words of the name of the album.

Wear Your Love Like Heaven - the first record - was a particular dodgy buy because two of the songs had just been released as a single to support the album, leaving just under twenty minutes of new material.

4. Poor Cow (3:28)
   a.k.a. Poor Love

   The Fat Angel (3:24)

   Preachin' Love (5:03)

   The Lullaby of Spring (3:08)

   Writer In The Sun (4:30)

   Pebble and The Man (3:10)

   Rules and Regulations (2:54)

   Mellow Yellow (4:18)

Donovan tells us Poor Cow is actually called Poor Love because it was when the performance was recorded but by the time this record was released, it had appeared in its studio version as Poor Cow on the B-side of Jennifer Juniper. Pebble and The Man would later be re-worked as Happiness Runs, and this version features some interesting lyric differences.

The special track is the previously unheard Rules and Regulations which would not pop up on any other legal release. The album was very long for its time (only Dylan was releasing LPs as lengthy).

Isle of Islay has a spoken introduction by someone quite silly really who tries to set the mood by telling a gorgeous (or incredibly daft, depending on your view) anecdote about Donovan and rain. He then introduces Don's father who finally gets round to starting the concert.

I love the new arrangement of Young Girl Blues and revel in the solos on Preachin' Love. The complete album is very mellow.

Commentary

The gatefold album cover opens up to show a long picture of Open Road: John Carr, Donovan Leitch and Mike Thomson from left to right. It's not the most flattering picture you could take. The names of the members are printed in orange typewriter face underneath each of them and a drawing of a sun rising (drawn by Donovan?) is positioned in the bottom right hand corner of the front cover.

The back has the title of the album fancifully drawn in brown and the track listing appears below this. The inside of the gatefold cover is a dark green and the lyrics to the songs are typed, with some pictures of additional players and session information on the far right hand side.

Littered throughout the lyrics to this album, are little messages, probably from Donovan himself. They appear after the song titles, so presumably are meant to be notes to accompany the songs.

• Before the song Changes, an introduction:

  we did not know what to expect
  upon the open road but we began here

• Before the song Celtic Rock, a little poem:

  ye sons of britain
  who once were free
  ye now are slaves to factory
  those who walk the path of mole
  expect in time to kill thy soul

Commentary

The record cover and spine list the album as HMS DONOVAN but the record label and inside cover list it as H.M.S. DONOVAN. I have chosen the latter because HMS is an abbreviation and is correctly punctuated with full stops.

The artwork for this album is amazing, second place only to the artwork for A Gift from a Flower to a Garden. (Once again, the art direction is by Sid Maurer). The album credits Patrick with the paintings (his signature appears on the bottom right hand side of the front cover and on the book Don is reading). Patrick's painting wraps around onto the back cover and the entire picture would make an excellent poster.

The front cover has a picture of Donovan dressed in a traditional sailor's outfit with an open book (presumably the old fashioned picture book mentioned in the song) on his lap. He's sitting in a garden and around him are various characters from the songs on the album: the walrus and the carpenter, the unicorn, a jar of stars (The Seller of Stars), a fairy in the grass (Things to Wear), Mr. Wind, Wynken, Blynken and Nod, what I think is meant to be the Jabberwock, a girl hugging a swan (Lord of the Reedy River), a baby falling asleep (La Moora), a boy holding a watch (Lost Time), a single star in the sky (The Star), a mermaid holding a baby (Celia of the Seals?), the owl and the pussycat and the moon (The Voyage of the Moon).

The songs that I don't think are represented are The Little White Road, Coulter's Candy, The Road, Homesickness, Fishes in Love, The Pee Song, Lord of the Dance, Little Ben, Can Ye Dance, The Song of Wandering Aengus, A Funny Man, Henry Martin and Queen Mab but I may have missed some.

Released in Japan only. First appearance of the George Harrison authored verse to Hurdy Gurdy Man. The cuts Tinker Tune, A Working Man and The Ferryman's Daughter are unique to Donovan's legal releases. Sound quality and performance is superb on these acoustic only tracks.

It's just Donovan with his guitar, but the echo effects of the stadium and the energy of the music, is just amazing. The record has always been quite rare and is now virtually impossible to find.

Commentary

The record cover is totally white except for the title (with the S's in Essence tilted forward) and a single picture of Donovan kneeling dressed in white robes. The inside of the album shows two more pictures of Donovan in different positions with a final one on the back cover. So if you progress from front to back it gives the impression of Donovan giving you a little bow.

On the back cover are the song titles and above Don's head are the first nine lines from Dignity of Man.

On the lyric sheet, the songs are listed in the following order: Yellow Star, Divine Daze of Deathless Delight, Dignity of Man, Sailing Homeward, Boy for Every Girl, Life is a Merry-go-round, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, There is an Ocean , Life Goes On, Lazy Daze, Saint Valentine's Angel. Is this the order that the songs were recorded in?

The cover art direction and design were by John Kosh and Donovan, with photographs created by Tony Evans. The last line on the insert is presumably a little message from Donovan: `Humble appreciation to all my brothers in music who played on these songs'.

Discrepancies

• Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is listed as Spaceship Earth on the record label
• Dignity of Man is listed as The Dignity of Man in the lyric insert
• Divine Daze of Deathless Delight is listed as The Divine Daze of Deathless Delight in the lyric insert

The front cover shows a picture of Donovan dressed in long robers, leaning on a stick. Behind him is a green splurge and the planet Saturn. Above him is `Donovan' in green LCD writing and `Slow Down World' hand-written in an orange-brown colour, which also serves as the colour of the album's border.

The lyrics are listed in the same song order as the track listing, but A Well Known Has-been has been swapped around with Cryin' Shame. Maybe this was a last minute change-around and the back cover text was not corrected.

The photography is by Patrine Mitchum, with the cover prepared by (John?) Kosh under the art direction by Ron Coro.

After the lyrics there is a dedication: `to the queen of Venus' and the last line of text on the back cover is presumably a little message from Donovan: `Use this album before the next century'.

All they seem to have done is change the order of the tracks. But I haven't heard the original vinyl so can't be sure.

Recorded by Pat (of Donovan's Friends). Mellow Records is his company which paid for recording Donovan over the years.

Hurdy Gurdy Man includes the extra George Harrison verse not recording in the original studio version. Young But Growing, Stealing and Love Will Find A Way are all previously unrecorded tracks.

This CD was released in the US with the title The Classics Live with a different cover, also shown here.

There are quite a few full price and budget releases of this title. Here are a few that I'm aware of:

• Greatest Hits [Tring GRF207] is missing the last track
• 25 Years In Concert [Holland: Dino Music DNCD 1253 / (S) - 1990] is the whole disc
• Donovan Live [German: Mastertone CD 10045 / (S) - 1995] is missing the last two songs
