This is one of the rare instances where I prefer a "hot" overcompressed single mix... it's just so heavy. So many thanks for this upload

Wow flash back summer of 68 cruising around with my cousin in his 62 Impala SS . Just the way it sounded on the am radio.

This mono mixing ...everything is so clear.The drums is so heavy and Donovan s vocals makes me feel as if he s singing from the universe. AS A CHILD I USED TO LISTEN TO IT SEEING A MAGAZINE WITH AN IMAGE OF THE UNIVERSE FULL OF STARS. .......THAT WHAT COMES TO MY M8ND EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT. THANKS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL SONGS....I LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

I think that this generation is jealous of those of us who were teenagers in the summer of 1968...our music was popular and dangerous at the same time...it was innovative and was also heard via AM radio on the pop charts that turned up on paper music charts in our local music stores...Donovan was dark and devious and filled with mystery, his music cutting edge and druggie but still it appeared on 45 rpm and sold to the multitudes...we were so cool and so smart, it can never happen again!

That turntable looks like one I owned may years ago, a Technics. Bought mine in 1978 in Germany when stationed there in the Army.
