"Golden Hour of Donovan" is a compilation album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the United Kingdom (Golden Hour Records GH 506) in November 1971 and did not chart.

History

By 1971, Pye Records transferred the rights to release Donovan's 1965 recordings from their budget label Marble Arch Records to a second subsidiary budget label Golden Hour Records. Golden Hour assembled "Golden Hour of Donovan" for the British market. The album featured detailed artwork of a jigsaw puzzle with Donovan's likeness. Later in 1995 it was released by Castle Communications Limited with a photo of Donovan as the artwork.
