Donovan - The Hurdy Gurdy Man - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Four CD set. 1980 was a huge year in pop music with every genre competing for hits. We have already included more than 150 tracks on the CDs of the 1980 Yearbook, the 80-84 Final Chapter, and their extras so far in our appreciation of the year... Those tracks were generally the bigger hits of the year, with their chart achievement a factor in their inclusion - however - that's not the whole singles story of the year, and our celebration of 1980 wouldn't be complete without shining a light on some of the years' singles that have been compiled much less frequently over the years. Welcome to THE VAULT for 1980... Some of the 80 tracks included were Top 40 hits, some missed the chart completely. Some were representative of massive selling albums, and some were big hits in the U.S. and not in the U.K... but all are part of the wonderful pop story of 1980. Includes tracks by Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Blondie, The Ramones, The Revillos, Ultravox, Human League, Echo & the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes, OMD, Sparks, The B-52's, Robert Palmer, The Buggles, The Fling Lizards, The Ruts, The Clash, Level 42, Kool & the Gang, Donna Summer, Squeeze, Secret Affair, and many others.

UK collection. The latest in Ace Records' popular Songwriters series is a kaleidoscopic trip into the craft of one of the most covered and influential artists of the '60s. The body of work he wrote and recorded during the golden period we celebrate on Hurdy Gurdy Songs has become one of the most critically and commercially successful of the era, and continues to attract new listeners and demand reappraisal; proof that Donovan - the psychedelic minstrel whose records colored the late 60s pop landscape - was one of a kind. A prolific writer, he gifted a number of songs to other artists 'You Just Gotta Know My Mind' and 'Snakeskin' appear on our collection and serve to illustrate the widespread appeal of his material to female interpreters as diverse as Eartha Kitt, Peggy Lipton and Bridget St John. Donovan's whirlwind journey through the second half of the 60s left him beaten and bruised but the music he created - in which the eclectic influences of pop, spirituality, poetry, magic and the spirit of the age found their way into these unique and enduring songs - continues to thrill and beguile today.
