Colours is a compilation album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the United Kingdom (Hallmark Records HMA 241) in June 1972 and did not chart.
In 1971, Donovan's 1965 Pye Records recordings were sold to Hallmark Records. Although Pye subsidiary Golden Hour Records released Golden Hour of Donovan the year before, Hallmark assembled two albums from the recordings. The first album, titled Catch the Wind , was named after Donovan's first single but bore little resemblance to the U.S. album of the same name. The second album, titled Colours after Donovan's second single, marked the first time the song title was used for an album title.
All tracks by Donovan Leitch, except where noted.
Donovan Phillips Leitch is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist. He developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelic rock, and world music. He has lived in Scotland, Hertfordshire (England), London, California, and since at least 2008 in County Cork, Ireland, with his family. Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan reached fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with live performances on the pop TV series Ready Steady Go!.
