Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Century, London, 2005. Hard Cover. First / First. Book and Dust Jacket both in Fine condition. Donovan is revealed as one of the most original figures of the sixties, the first singer-songwriter to introduce poetry into pop songs, the first to write about drugs - and the first to be busted - and to use psychedelic artwork on his album covers. There are stories of his adventures with John Lennon , Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. By 1968 Donovan was the hottest ticket on both sides of the Atlantic, but as the decade drew to a close he became disillusioned with the increasing pressures of superfame, and decided to drop out. This is a very nice copy. Codice articolo 000232

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. Hardcover - 1st. UK Print - As New/As New - Signed by Donovan on title page - Donovan is a legendary folk rocker and early prince of flower power. An art student, Donovan left home by 16 to wander with his lifelong friend Gypsy Dave and taught himself how to play guitar by mimicking the folk styles of the Carter Family, Doc Watson, Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott, among others he credits. After appearances on the British TV show Ready Steady Go! in 1965, he landed a record contract, and Catch the Wind rode the crest of the British Invasion. Fusing folk with jazz and metal, Donovan forged "Celtic rock," and in his recording sessions, engineered by Mickie Most, he worked with all the happening musicians and even collaborated with the Beatles.
