All You'll Ever Need ...

Without thinking twice, Donovan’s best material was his earlier material, where to that end, this collection will dive you deep into those shimmering sounds.

That said, not all of Donovan’s material is equally as good, meaning this is a fine place to gather together what rides most comfortably in your back pocket, burn a lossless couple of discs and slip back int time with some of the best folk-rock and psychedelic music ever heard, from a time when the world seemed willing to change for the better with the emancipation of both art and internal explorations brought on by the explorative use of LSD. Essentially what you have here is an assemblage of his first five albums, along with another disc comprised of B-Sides, outtakes and bonus material.

Breezes of Patchouli includes the original albums Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow, The Hurdy Gurdy Man, Barabajagal and A Gift from a Flower to a Garden as presented on EMI’s 2005 reissues (2009 for A Gift) with the remastering from those editions intact. As Donovan’s catalogue has had a sorted and checkered history, this box set has been designed for the delivery of Donovan’s essential early titles.

It’s worthy to not that Al Kooper, Steven Stills and Mike Bloomfield were so enchanted by Donovan’s song “Season of the Witch,” that the song found its way onto their timeless album Super Sessions. Donovan was certainly not in the league with the Beatles, yet his music was equally as haunting, equally as lysergicly based, filled with wonder and vision that transcended both time and space.

Accompanying this collection is a twenty-four page book that documents the history and times of Donovan from 1966 though to present day, along with a rather lengthy essay by Lorne Murdoch.

*** The Fun Facts: The collection’s title was take from one of the nearly lost to the ages bonus tracks found here.

If you buy nothing else by Donovan buy this.

It's a peerless collection, 5 albums (one originally a double) over 4 discs including a host of bonus tracks. The sleevenotes are detailed and interesting (and manfully attempt to straighten the tangled web of Donovan's LP releases in the UK and the US).

His best known songs – Mellow Yellow, Jennifer Juniper and Sunshine Superman – are here and still sound remarkably fresh. The joy is in discovering other lyrically wry gems. Sure, there is filler (I Love My Shirt from Barabajagal is amusing but flimsy) but there is more than enough substance too.

Highly recommended.
