During the Flower Power/Hippy era of the 1960's - 1970's, Donovan Leitch was an extremely popular UK folk rock performer with a distinctive style blending folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and calypso.
Some compared him with Bob Dylan, the UK version
Donovan - Golden Hour Of Donovan
Golden Hour Records (Budget label of Pye Records)
Cat# GH 506
1973 NOT a reissue - this is the original release
Australian release
Album cover is in very good condition, some very light handling wear to the edges only - no tears, no seam splits and no hand writing anywhere
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good - excellent condition, examined carefully using a halogen light source I can see just a couple of extremely light marks. I then played the entire album and surprisingly there is a slightly higher surface noise than I would have expected, not much higher than normal but you can hear low level surface noise. The recording is made at quite a low level so this could be part of the problem, it is easier to hear the surface noise. Barely any click/pop events though - still a very nice play overall
