What a disappointment..I wanted the original Cosmic Wheels album with classics such as Intergalactic Laxative...Anyone know where I can get it?

This is not the original Cosmic Wheels album that came out in the early seventies. Gone are the quirky songs like 'Intergalactic Laxative' and 'What the lonely call the blues' and in their places are a load of songs that you can get on any Donovan greatest hits compilation. Sadly an A&R man somewhere has destroyed what was possibly one of the artists' best, but least known records. I can only call it a crime against popular music.

I thought I had ordered the original LP equal (like everyother CD with the same name as the LP I have purchased)

This is not the original & will be returned.

Original playlist on 1973 Epic LP

Cosmic Wheels - Earth Sign Man - Sleep - Maria Magenta - Wild Witch Lady - The Music Makers - The Intergalactic Laxative - I Like You - Only the Blues - Appearances

This isn't the fault of the seller, obviously, but this is NOT the original Epic recording of Donovan's "Cosmic Wheels." Why was this thing released with the same title as the masterpiece which bears little resemblance to this? I didn't return it because the seller is not at fault. When you're ordering "Cosmic Wheels," be certain that you can check the list of songs before you do. Caveat emptor.

Other people have expressed their disappointment that this is not the original album. I can only agree. Record companies: will one of you please... Please... PLEASE... re-release the original? Pretty please with sugar on it? Who knows? You might even make a few dollars/pounds/euros out of our memories. You release it and we'll buy it. Go on: you know you want to...

As stated in another review, this is not the original "Cosmic Wheels" album. This is "The Classics Live" repackaged, and missing some of the songs on that album. Worth listening to, but don't bother if you've already got "The Classics Live".

Well, this obviously wasn`t the Cosmic Wheels I know and love.Just some sort of live `Greatest Hits` effort. Waited for the postman with bated breath and was sooo disappointed. I won`t be returning it because the postage from UK to USA will probably be more than I paid for it. That will teach me not to accept things at face value.

OK, the title cut is here, but where is the rest of the original album? I wasn't expecting yet another compilation album!
