"This Is Donovan" is a compilation album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. Some sources date the album from 1969, while others claim it was released in West Germany (Epic Records BN 26 277) in 1971 and in the Netherlands (Epic Records LP - S 66 251) in 1974.

History

Epic Records compiled many Donovan songs that did not appear on "Donovan's Greatest Hits" into a two record set titled "This Is Donovan" for the continental European market. Epic would later assemble a similar release as "The World of Donovan" tailored to fit the United States market.
