(1992's double-disc TROUBADOUR, however, is great for bigger fans or rarities buffs.) One of the classic love-him-or-hate-him artists of the '60s, Donovan Leitch's mixture of folky sincerity (\"Colours\"), hippie-dippie humanism (\"Atlantis,\" \"Epistle To Dippy\") and just plain daffy surrealism (\"Sunshine Superman,\" \"Hurdy Gurdy Man,\" \"Mellow Yellow\"), set to Mickie Most's Swinging London arrangements, heavy on the horns and strings, epitomizes the Carnaby Street era like no one else can.\r\nThe handful of bonus tracks include Donovan's surprisingly cool collaboration with the Jeff Beck Group on \"Barabajagal\" and his theme for the Chuck Jones TV cartoon \"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.\" Novices should start here.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/30\/1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Donovan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186994860273,"sku":"EPKX7L-C50E-SN","price":10.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4401\/5345\/files\/donovan-greatest-hits-expanded-edition_CMqEi.jpg?v=1748731790","url":"https:\/\/outofthepastrecords.com\/products\/donovan-greatest-hits-expanded-edition","provider":"Out of the Past Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
