What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Sunshine Superman - the very best of Donovan (2002).

22 great songs for this unexpected summer here in the UK.

@ghosthouse  Yes, you're right. Unfortunately everything is of it's time, and despite the best summer here in decades, this isn't and can't be 1966-9.

Donovan wasn't Dylan but he went places few if any others went. It's as if decided to take Mr Tambourine Man as a starting point and luckily Mickie Most was the right producer at the right time.

I love this compilation. Even my least favourite songs Preachin' Love, and Epistle to Dippy are interesting. As for Jennifer Juniper, Sand and Foam, Sunny Goodge Street, Happiness Runs and the rest - simply magical.

"You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch, yeah
Beatniks are out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch"

Windy by Astrid Gilberto. A great recording and a great summer album.

@ghosthouse Thanks for that! I loved the way she seems to be channeling AG. Far easier said than done, but the effect is immediate.

Here's another surefire dreamy summer classic. This time from Matt Monro.

Yeah, all good stuff! Even woke up with that Matt Monro track running in my head! So I treated myself to 4CD box set The Singer's Singer. Apparently it's been lovingly restored/remastered.

Talking of songs playing in my head, the opening bars of this Joy Division track have often served me well whenever I need to ring the doorbell.

@gpgr4blu  Abbey Road is the Beatles album I'm least likely to skip tracks on. Ringo really hits his stride here.

It feels like a world in itself - like Born to Run and Astral Weeks.
