Description
Here is a nice promo copy of a single by George Washington Brown: "Donovan's Colours" b/ "Donovan's Colours" (WB 7026). George Washington Brown is actually Van Dyke Parks, who released this single shortly after ending his collaboration with Brian Wilson on the SMiLE project. The song is taken from Van's first solo LP, "Song Cycle." Produced by Lenny Waronker, arranged by Van Dyke Parks. Written by Donovan Leitch.
Side 1: "Donovan's Colours" 3:39"
Side 2: "Donovan's Colours" 3:19"
The versions of the song differ only slightly: the non-plug side fades out, while the plug side ends abruptly with a backwards tape effect. Both sides are mono mixes, and include a short vocal by Van Dyke Parks mid-way through the song (he sings the lyric "blue is the color" with heavy reverb and echo). This vocal does not appear on the stereo version, nor does it appear on the LP.
Record is in VG+ condition. Some label wear, and some sticker residue. Some scuffing, which is more pronounced on the plug side.
