Catch the Wind is the United States debut album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in June of 1965 through Hickory Records (catalog number LPM 123 (monaural) / LPS 123 (stereo)). Terry Kennedy, Peter Eden, and Geoff Stephens produced the album. Catch the Wind was originally released in the United Kingdom as What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid on May 14, 1965. Hickory Records changed the title to match that of Donovan's debut single. Several compilations of Donovan's 1965 recordings have also been released as Catch the Wind, but these bear little resemblance to the original album.
