A little while back I posted to rec.music.folk to see if anyone had ever
heard of a recording by Donovan himself of his Lord Of The Reedy River.
The reply:

>Donovan himself did record this track.  Unfortunately, it's on the

Which explains why I haven't had any luck finding a recording of it in
the US.  Not even Boogie Woogie has it.:-(
