I was born in 1956. My uncle, Walt, lived with us while he went to college in the 60's. He didn't serve in the war & as far as I know, was not a war protester. He was and is, however a true humanitarian.

This album vinyl was in his collection and he played it often. He played guitar, he played in the snow with his nieces and he's playful in life. But in his heart there is a reflective man who continues to make a difference in the lives of all lucky enough to know and love him.

Donovan and this album will forever remind me of the times, the issues and those things that helped mold the man I currently know as "Bink".

Donovan went on to sing during my time, the 70's. Songs such as Hurdy Gurdy Man & Mellow Yellow are still among my favorites but if you really want to feel what was in Donovan's heart and those coming of age during the 60's , then this is the CD you want to get. You won't regret it.

Peace.

I have to confess that I've always loved the old Donovan songs and his suggestive slightly imperfect voice.

If you are like me it is the best CD you can by in the world.

I think most people know Donovan from his hits - Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow, etc. Nothing wrong with that. (I own the "Greatest Hits CD myself.) But this (and other individual albums) shows that he was a talented singer and songwriter. This was his first album, so it is a little more "folksy" than subsequent releases. But I recommend listening to each song for itself, not just listening to the big hits.

This is a great Donovan album. Five stars. The one star is for funrec-us. The copies being offered by funrec-us are not the 1965 Hickory release of Donovan's Catch The Wind, as shown here. Their LPs are the 1971 Hallmark release. I let them know this --- apparently they don't care and continue to falsely represent this product.

Album came quickly, considering I was on the other side of the country. It's in the shape it was described as. Good experience. Thank you.
