The album itself is enjoyable, and anyone purchasing it is probably already familiar with the music. The packaging is excellent and reflects the high-quality presentation we’ve come to expect from Japanese CD releases. Unfortunately, the main issue is the sound quality. The mastering is excessively loud and heavily compressed, to the point where it almost sounds distorted at times. As a result, it’s quite fatiguing and unpleasant to listen to.

Description
In the late 1960s through the early 1970s, Donovan became hugely popular as a truly one-of-a-kind singer-songwriter. This year (2025) marks the 60th anniversary of his debut, and next year (2026) marks the 80th anniversary of his birth. To commemorate these milestones, this classic title is reissued for the first time in a cardboard-sleeve (mini LP) edition, based on a replica of the U.S. A-style LP packaging. It also features a replica Japanese LP obi and inner sleeve. Also features remastering in 2026 and Blu-spec CD2. Comes with new liner notes, and provides lyrics and Japanese translations.
Special Feature / Bonus Track: three bonus tracks
