Review

Q (2/02, p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Confident, with the cinematic allusions of 'The Summer Day Reflection Song' and the surrealist word-pictures of 'Sunny Goodge Street' still sending shivers up the spine..."s

Title Note

FAIRYTALE is a reissue of Donovan's second album from 1965 and includes the UNIVERSAL SOLDIER EP and two non-album B-sides.

Personnel: Donovan (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Shawn Phillips (electric guitar, 12-string guitar).

Producers include: Eden, Stephens, Terry Kennedy.

Sequel Records' followup to their CATCH THE WIND compilation, FAIRYTALE documents the era where Donovan Leitch was slowly turning from earnest folkie to pop oddball, though here he's still much more the former than the latter. Buffy Sainte Marie's "Universal Soldier" and his own "Colours," both heard here in two different versions, set the tone early on, but later in songs like "Sunny Goodge Street" and "The Summer Day Reflection Song," his SUNSHINE SUPERMAN-era twee-pop tendencies start to come to the fore.

Donovan's early records are mostly charming examples of mid-'60s folk rock--any Simon and Garfunkel fan, for example, will find FAIRYTALE interesting. The reissue includes a number of rare single sides.
