Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 251 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader, Ossi aka Brinkhoffs ::: Corrections welcome ::: Very fine recording. I especially enjoy the "Sutras" material. I wish Donovan had kept a number of songs from that album & "Beat Cafe" in his live repertoire. For that matter, wasn't the story that Donovan wrote over a 100 new songs in Los Angeles for "Sutras"? Seems like there is almost certainly another album or two of great unissued trax buried out there somewhere. Don't hold yr breath! In fact, you can exhale & listen to this. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
