[edit] History

A year after releasing an edited version of What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid, Pye Records budget subsidiary Marble Arch Records released Fairytale with new artwork resembling the psychedelic artwork of Donovan's Epic Records albums. The album inexplicably lacked "Colours" and Donovan's cover of the Shawn Phillips composition "The Little Tin Soldier".
