Hello Friends, and today we're continuing on with our look at Donovan's 1967 classic, A Gift From a Flower to a Garden, diving in to the second LP of this set, also released individually in the USA as For Little Ones. A diversion from the first LP in the set, this album is comprised of a set of songs based in Celtic folk music, with Donovan's intention of writing an album of songs for children. Strangely, this song actually feels more mature than Wear Your Love Love Heaven, but how does this change in approach affect the mono and stereo mixes of the album? Littered with sound effect intros and stripped back arrangements, this album is a real mish-mash of similarities and differences, which which brings these mixes together best? Come along with The Magpie to The Lullaby of Spring and find the Starfish-on-the-Toast for the answer! 
Happy Listening, 
Frederick
