Rising Again

Untitled

Rising Again is an expanded version of the 1990 live album Rising from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the United Kingdom (Pilot PLO 59) on May 22 2001.

History

Throughout the 1990's, numerous reissues and edited versions of Donovan's 1990 live album Rising appeared. None of these versions contained the original title or artwork, and many did not even have the original track order. After over ten years of these releases, Pilot Records acquired the rights to the songs from Rising in the United Kingdom.

Instead of simply reissuing Rising, Pilot Records recognized that the rights to the Mellow Records songs also gave them access to numerous unreleased live recordings recorded by Donovan in the 1980's. They titled the subsequent release of these tracks Rising Again in recognition of the original album, and added eleven previously unreleased tracks taken from the same concerts.

Following is a list explaining the releases of the studio versions of each song. Songs that were unreleased at the time of the concert are in bold:
