''What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid'' is the debut album from British singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the UK four days after his nineteenth birthday on 14 May 1965, through Pye Records (catalog number NPL 18117). Terry Kennedy, Peter Eden, and Geoff Stephens produced the album. ''What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid'' was released in the US as ''Catch the Wind'' on Hickory Records in June 1965. Hickory Records changed the title to match that of Donovan's debut single. ==History== In late 1964, Peter Eden and Geoff Stephens offered Donovan a recording contract with Pye Records in the UK. Donovan had performed around Britain and had become well known in British folk circles before his record contract. His 1964 demo tapes (released as ''Sixty Four'' in 2004) show a great resemblance to both Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, which probably prompted the "British answer to Bob Dylan" press line that was subsequently released. ''What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid'' is notable because it captures Donovan at a point where his style and vision were starting to diverge significantly from those of Guthrie and Dylan. The music primarily consists of Donovan singing and playing mouth harp and acoustic guitar, much like his live performances of the time. He still had some vestiges of Woody Guthrie's style, and here covers Guthrie's "Riding in My Car (Car Song)" — retitled as "Car Car". ''What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid'' also includes British folk ("Tangerine Puppet") and even some jazz ("Cuttin' Out"). Donovan rerecorded "Catch the Wind" for the album, which was initially released as his debut single in the UK on 12 March 1965. Other musicians featured on the album are Brian Locking on bass, Skip Alan (from the Pretty Things) on drums, and Gypsy Dave on kazoo. 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「What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
