"Rising Again" is an expanded version of the 1990 live album "Rising" from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the UK (Pilot PLO 59) on May 22 2001.

History

Throughout the 1990s, numerous reissues and edited versions of Donovan's 1990 live album "Rising" appeared. None of these versions contained the original title or artwork, and many did not have the original track order. After over ten years of these releases, Pilot Records acquired the rights to the songs from "Rising" in the UK.

Instead of simply reissuing "Rising", Pilot Records recognized that the rights to the Mellow Records songs also gave them access to numerous unreleased live recordings recorded by Donovan in the 1980s. They titled the subsequent release of these tracks "Rising Again" in recognition of the original album, and added eleven previously unreleased tracks taken from the same concerts.

Reissues

On November 12 2002, Superior Records (Netherlands, Superior 540777) issued Donovan's album as "Atlantis" for the European continent market. The album featured a different cover.
