"I've got some Donovan's albums in cheap formats. This is the best one I've heard. These are studio recordings and with a delicious psycodelic band. No solo acoustic recordings."

Still Another Pretty Good Donovan Compilation

"The recordings of "Catch the Wind" and "Colours" are the rerecorded versions done for the original "Greatest Hits" record that came out oh so long ago on Epic Records and I really like the way "Wind" seques into "Atlantis." They're both long and strangely enough seem kind of similar here, almost like they were made to be together. "Maria Magenta" from the "Cosmic Wheels" record has always been a favorite of mine and it just seems to work well with this other stuff. I don't know if I'd have put "Where Your Love Like Heaven" here, but still it was kind of a Donovan hit. "Rock and Roll Souljer (correct title)" though not a big event for Donovan, has always been one of my favorites and I really like that the album closes with it. The problem is that there are so many Donovan complications that it's kind of hard to sort the wheat from the chaff. Four stars."

"Great cd. This would be a great gift for someone who wants to enjoy great music. Being a compilation, you get an earful of great tunes. If you are like me, you will soon being buying the cds that the song originated from. I believe that greatest hits are teasers for what the album really hides."
