History
After his 1984 album Lady of the Stars failed to meet success in both the US and UK, Donovan temporarily retired from recording studio albums. In 1990, Donovan's 1960's albums were reissued on CD for the first time. His 1990 live album Rising and the 1992 Epic Records boxed set Troubadour: The Definitive Collection 1964-1976 were also bringing Donovan's music back into record stores.
Although this renewed interest in Donovan's music grew over the next few years, in 1993 he was still without a record label in the US or UK. Donovan had always maintained a strong following in Japan, however, and he was able to release One Night in Time there in 1993. The album was only released on cassette tape.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
