The Great Donovan is a compilation album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in Australia on November 25, 2003 (Rajon 50198).

[edit] History

In late 2003, Australian record label Rajon Records released a compilation of Donovan's songs ranging from 1964 to 1976 as a three disc set titled The Great Donovan. The Great Donovan is in fact Donovan's 1992 box set Troubadour: The Definitive Collection 1964-1976 spread out over three discs with different packaging. For some unknown reason, The Great Donovan omitted the "Riki Tiki Tavi" outtake included on Troubadour: The Definitive Collection 1964-1976
