Originally packaged in a two-record box set with an expensively printed set of lyric sheets, A Gift was sincerely meant as a possible present for the hippie who has everything. The first album is the Wear Your Love Like Heaven album and it's a gem of mid-'60s Mickie Most-produced psychedelic pop. The title track and "Mad John's Escape" are prime pop, but "Little Boy in Corduroy" is the type of weird, childlike folk song that is featured throughout the second album. Titles such as "Song of the Naturalist's Wife," "Voyage into the Golden Screen," and "Widow with Shawl (a portrait)" give a clear idea of how "out there" Donovan went. --Rob O'Connor

Anyone who came of age in the late nineteen sixties would remember and love this album. Great tunes and lyrics. Donovan is a poet.

This album is one of the rarest gems I own. Donovan's discography is considerable and covers ground from American Hillbilly ala Dylan to Jazz; all transversely covered with a combination of classic minstrel and psychedelia. This album was originally released in it's present form, as a two disk set - one disk of electric 1968 psychedelic music and one European, Scottish minstrel folk music. It was then released as a single disc - containing only the acoustic songs. I am very happy to see it returned ... Read More

1968 was the year, when the double-album concept really was beginning to break though. The Beatles released their "White Album", Jimi Hendrix released "Electric Ladyland" and Donovan this album, which with a playing time of about sixty minutes today plays easily on a single CD.
The original album was divided into two records which thematically were meant be to different in their approach. First record, which was released in some countries as a single album titled "Wear Your Love Like Heaven", ... Read More

Reviewing a musical recording so many years after its initial release is a trip in itself. You have the benefit of some acquired wisdom, perhaps clearer insight into things in general, and you aslo have had time to see if you STILL like the recording. With regard to Donovan's GIFT....cd I can say I like it more today than I did years ago and I liked it a lot back then as well. But I have been a Donovan fan since SUNNY GOODGE STREET and COLOURS and CATCH THE WIND....
This CD is so much a concept ... Read More

This album was introduced to me at 14 years old (I am 27). I feel like its melodies and lyrics actually helped to shape who I am. The songs on this album range from meaningful and delicate to quirky and hopping. Each song deserves equal credit for making this one of my all time favorite albums. A smile on your face, a tear in your eye, Donovan can bring out the feeling. A MUST HAVE!
