This recording had been preceded by a threeweek run on the TV programme Ready Steady Go, unprecedented for an artist yet to release his first record. While Granada had Ready Steady Go, the BBC had a handful of contemporary light programmes for radio to host the lsquohappeningrsquo current acts such as Saturday Club, Folk Room and later Nightride and Top Gear. Here, we travel back to 1965, where Donovan made numerous consecutive trips into BBCrsquos Paris Theatre Studios, presented here are his best performed tracks between 19651969, accompanying himself on guitar with additional standup bass provided by Spike Heatley and Danny Thompson. This landmark release also includes fascinating interviews with host Brian Matthew. Professionally remastered original broadcasts with background liners and rare archival photos.
