Donovan – Sunshine Superman
Sunshine Superman is Donovan’s third album. It was released outside the UK in autumn 1966, but not in the United Kingdom because of a contractual dispute.
These recordings mark a distinct change in Donovan’s music, representing some of the first psychedelia released. A full rock band backs up Donovan on many of the songs, and the instrumentation has been expanded to include sitar and other unique musical instruments. This change is partially the result of working with producer Mickie Most, whose pop sensibilities led to chart hits for many other artists at the time.
