Colours (1972 Donovan album)


Colours is a compilation album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the United Kingdom in June 1972 and did not chart.

History

In 1971, Donovan's 1965 Pye Records recordings were sold to Hallmark Records. Although Pye subsidiary Golden Hour Records released Golden Hour of Donovan the year before, Hallmark assembled two albums from the recordings. The first album, titled Catch the Wind, was named after Donovan's first single but bore little resemblance to the U.S. album of the same name. The second album, titled Colours after Donovan's second single, marked the first time the song title was used for an album title.
