About The Record:

Catch The Wind, by Donovan, is the American title for the artist's debut album, originally known in the UK as What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid, showcasing his early folk style with simple acoustic arrangements and introspective songwriting. A unique aspect is the album version of the title track, which differs from the hit single by omitting the string section and vocal echo while adding a harmonica part played by Donovan himself. The album holds historical significance as Donovan's first full-length release, marking his emergence in the mid-1960s British folk scene, often drawing comparisons to Bob Dylan but influenced more strongly by Bert Jansch, and featuring covers like Do You Hear Me Now alongside originals. Popular songs and fan-favorites include the gentle opener Josie, the poignant To Sing for You, and the title track Catch the Wind, which remains one of his most enduring pieces. The hit single Catch the Wind achieved notable success, reaching No. 4 on the UK singles chart and No. 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
