Notes
Original UK stereo release with full-color 8 page picture booklet stapled in.
This album has a 'Unipak'-style, outside laminated gatefold cover [opens from the inside] with only one card layer for the front lap and flipbacks inside the opened gatefold.
Obviously the US print films were used for the UK cover, which explains the wrong song arrangement and the US collecting societies.
'STEREO NSPL' sticker over mono catalogue # on back cover.
Light blue Pye labels with black bar at the top.
Vinyl in poly-lined white paper liner wallet with 2 punch-holes, contained in inner back cover wallet.
The cover incorrectly lists 'Season Of The Witch' as the last track on the A-side; labels list the tracks correctly (as above).
Track B2 'Mellow Yellow' is a mono recording re-channeled for stereo.
Tracks B3 'Colours' & B5 'Catch The Wind' are completely new re-recorded (May 1968) versions.

What a short sighted review.
Donovan is one of the biggest and most original and best writers, and singers ,from a period that exploded with originality and talent., that continues unabated to today. With few misses. The complete albums these hits came from are each veritable classics. There are also a couple of singles, single version s, and excellent updated remakes of a few of his bigger earliest folks songs ,with strings and backings added that the originals did not have .
The only thing you need from Donovan ! I would expect (hope)that reviewer just never heard Donovan's albums
