A Gift From a Flower to a Garden by Donovan - LP1 [aka Wear Your Love Like Heaven]

Hello Friends,

Today on the show we're back again in 1967 with our next Graduate Patron selected album, taking our first look at Donovan and his fantastic double LP A Gift From a Flower to a Garden. Much like our look at The Beatles at the beginning of the year, we will be splitting these two LPs in to two episodes of Mixology, with this week's episode looking at the first LP, also released individually in the USA as Wear Your Love Like Heaven. A glorious psych/folk/pop collection of 10 tunes, this album was released in both mono and stereo upon its original release. Thanks to some insider comments, we can confirm the mono was definitely the focus at the time, but how well does the made-for-USA stereo mix hold up by comparison? Oh Gosh, come along with Skip-a-long Sam and let's listen to Someone Singing Under The Greenwood Tree and find out.

Happy Listening, 

Frederick
