I've found the disc, both album cuts and add-ons, the weakest (indeed, cutesy) among those (Donovan's) I've gotten.

I must admit not taking keenly to the Barabajagal record; it seemed to me a little too commercial and cutesy as a whole - maybe that's why i didn't remember "Reedy" being on it. Perhaps it was a later addition? The HMS version is simple and haunting much as I remember the performance.

I had happened upon references to "HMS" in the liner notes for some of the Donovan albums, in CD form, that I ordered – taking in so much lately, I've found myself getting a bit confused regarding content; checking out Amazon, I was reminded of the reason I hadn't sprung for this one: It's out of print and all available copies are astronomically priced. I'll have to be on the lookout for one under three digits. The tiny sound samples are highly tantalizing, as is your thoughtful evaluation. ... I was introduced to both his "Lord of the Reedy River" and "Voyage of the Moon," as compositions, by <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Post-Card-Mary-Hopkin/dp/B000007S7J/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1238138520&sr=8-1" REL="nofollow">Mary Hopkin's debut album (which I mentioned to you before, I think)</A>. Extremely beautiful songs. You may know that on the "Barabajagal" CD there is a demo version – instrumentally fuller, strangely enough – of "Reedy," recorded a couple of years before the "HMS" treatment; jazzy and very lovely. ...
