In the early 1980's, Epic Records' company CBS released a two LP retrospective compilation of Donovan's Epic Records recordings. Although there was an album titled The Best of Donovan containing Donovan's 1965 Pye Records recordings released in the United States in 1969, the title had not yet appeared in Australia.
