''Universal Soldier'' is the second compilation album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the UK (Marble Arch LP-MAL 718) in September 1967. ==History== In the mid-1960s Pye Records launched budget record label Marble Arch Records to release older material on inexpensive albums in the United Kingdom. Several of Donovan's 1965 recordings for Pye were selected for release in 1967 as ''Universal Soldier''. Donovan's version of "Universal Soldier" was a hit EP in 1965, and that name recognition was intended to boost sales. ''Universal Soldier'' was a unique release because it collected the entire ''Universal Soldier'' EP, the b-side to "Catch the Wind", and the entire "Turquoise" single; all of which had appeared on LP format in the United Kingdom. The strategy of compiling non-album tracks paid off, and ''Universal Soldier'' reached #5 in the United Kingdom and remained on the charts for 18 weeks. Marble Arch would go on to release several more Donovan compilations to significantly less interest, including an edited ''What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid'' in 1968 and an edited ''Fairytale'' in 1969. In 1995, Spectrum Music released a CD compilation, also named after the title track. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Universal Soldier (1967 Donovan album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
