Donovan P. Leitch (album)


Donovan P. Leitch is a compilation album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the United States in October 1970.

History

In 1969, Hickory Records issued their last compilation of Donovan's 1965 Pye Records recordings. In 1970, Janus Records acquired the right to release the recordings in the United States and issued the two LP set titled Donovan P. Leitch later that year. The album cover featured two pictures of Donovan in a concert setting.
In 1970, Donovan's popularity was still strong in the United States. This popularity carried over to this fourth compilation of his folk recordings, allowing Donovan P. Leitch to peak at #128 on the US Billboard charts. This would be the last time any of Donovan's folk recordings would chart in the United States.
