Cover Letter For there. Features Song Lyrics for Donovan's Sunshine Superman (Stereo Special Edition) album. Includes Album Cover, Release Year, and User Reviews.

Forty-five years after the 1966 US release of Donovan’s trailblazing Sunshine Superman album, this expanded reissue coincides with a celebratory, anniversary-marking Royal Albert Hall appearance, and a sympathetic new stereo mix allows the songs to flex as never before. (The original mono mix comprises Disc Two.) A labyrinthine web of circumstances led Sunshine Superman into sounding the way it did in the first place. In terms of subject matter, it simultaneously mourns the absence of his future wife, Linda Lawrence – pursuing a modelling career in the US at that time – while softly and persuasively beckoning her to return. The decorous Legend Of A Girl Child Linda is immersed in introspection, and a similarly indulgent seam of sumptuous melancholy runs through Celeste. Conversely, the recreational habits of a young hash-head pop star with a freshly acquired LSD fascination inform wantonly unconcealed compositions such as The Trip and The Fat Angel. Taken in tandem, everything significantly points towards manifestations of love, peace and an expansion of the universal consciousness Key also is the intervention of producer Mickie Most and arranger John Cameron, who, from Sunshine Superman onwards, would work with Donovan until the close of the 60s.
