I was never much of a fan, what with Mellow Yellow and that ditty about his shirt, but I'm down for anyone who can adapt "Season Of The Witch". Sunshine Superman was great as well. Thanx for posting!

As an aside:
"....Donovan does not mention the involvement of Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. At the time, the two future Led Zeppelin members were popular London session musicians and played on other Donovan sessions, including in 1968 for some tracks on The Hurdy Gurdy Man, though Page did not play on the title track of the album; guitarist Alan Parker played all the electric guitar and electric sitar parts on it. However, their exact contributions, if any, to "Season of the Witch" are unknown.

My favorite rendition of "Witch" is probably by cover artists Vanilla Fudge. It's edgy and spooky.
