People used to pause to think and contemplate...
One of the best album of all times, unfortunatly under estimated.

In any case, the best Donovan opus with HMS.

What can I can say about this album, maybe this :
"at the beginning there was The Beatles..."
and maybe that I was born during the recording session of "Savoy Truffle".

I swear I remember it...

not familiar with most of the these, however, I am familiar with the Jackson Frank album, really good, so I will have to check out the rest of your chart.
