Sunshine Superman/ The Trip

Here's a beautiful copy of Donovan's debut single as a rocker.... and what a debut it was! Purists note: If all you've ever heard is the 4:30 version found on the Donovan's greatest hits collection, you're missing out. The original 3:05 edit on 45 rpm is not only tighter but has a much better mix, with much more punch to the guitars. I'm not sure if it's a different take rather than a remix/edit, but I do know that it's the version you want in your collection, and you're not likely to find it other than on the original 45 or a reissue of that original version. Note: This 45 comes in a Near Mint copy of the release's cool picture sleeve; it has no ringwear but does have a set of staple holes in one top corner. The record itself has Mint labels. The audio sounds very close to Mint.
