Donovan - "HMS Donovan" Orig UK Dawn Vinyl 2 LP Gatefold 1st press w/Poster! Issued around 1971, and only in the UK, I think this is the finest thing Donovan ever did.  This is mostly acoustic, and here we have a chance to hear what a fine guitarist he is.  This is music he wrote to a number of children's poems, and the result is pure magic.  Also, take notice of the amazing artwork by a fellow named Patrick, which really sets the tone for the album.  This is the 1st press "Red" Dawn issue, and comes with the Super-Rare Poster, which folds out to 3 times the size of the front jacket.  A very special release!!!

For you matrix hounds out there:  Side 1: 4001A-1; Side 2: 4001B-1; Side 3: 4001C-1; Side 4: 4001D-1
