There's a classic scene in the Pennebraker documentary Don't Look Back: Donovan sings a pretty folk song in a pretty voice; he smiles like he's just won a grade-school spelling bee. Dylan strokes him with sly approval, then lays it on him: "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." Donovan's face falls and he looks about to disappear into the wallpaper. Dylan's genius made life hard for this Scot-born folkie, and with Sunshine Superman, he tried to find the bold imagination that eluded him. He's nearly successful, and the record, filled with hippy-trippy lyrics, occasionally reaches pop sublimity, thanks to guitar work by Jimmy Page, and evocative Eastern instrumentation drifting in and out. The final cut, "Till I See You Again" remains irresistible, and the entire album is a high point in Donovan's career. --Roy Francis Kasten

This is Donovan's third or fourth album, depending on whether or not you're British or American. Gone is the innocent folksinger, accompanied by only his guitar and harmonica. With "Superman" Donovan burst onto the scene as a rock and roll force to be reckoned with, a power matched by only the Beatles, Stones and, of course, Bob Dylan.
This is probably some of the first psychedelic music to be released, out before the Jefferson Airplanes "Surrealistic Pillow" and the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper." ... Read More

This is one of the more evocative records in my collection. Many of the tunes benefit from the lush string and harpsichord adornments that, some of the more pop'n'roll tracks aside, conjure a misty, medieval feel. I was a little curious as to the editorial comment from Roy Francis Kasten with reference to the Pennebaker film 'Don't Look Back'. For a kickoff, it was Donovan who requested that Dylan play 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' as opposed to it being a pointed 'put down' on Dylan's behalf. As for the ... Read More

This is a fine album, filled with highly crafted pop music. This album, along with Epics' Donovan's Greatest Hits are great 'starter discs' for this artist.

Through my childhood, teen years, and most of my adulthood, I
was under the impression that DONOVAN was pretty much about
bubblegum music(sorry about that Mr.Leitch). Now, in my middle-
age, of all places, I find that this talented musician is a
master of psychedelica, right up there with SYD BARRETT, early
PINK FLOYD, and other of my favorites. Heres to him. I wish I
had discovered all this great music earlier in life. But not to
worry, I'm making up for lost time, buying ... Read More

Contrary to what someone says above:
"Fly Jefferson Airplane, get you there on time" was not what gave the Airplane their name, it was Donovan's tribute to them after being in San Francisco. Four stars only because that's what i thought of it at the time. Really good, but sometimes too precious. Worth knowing if you don't. Unquestioned classic.
