Cosmic Wheels is his tenth studio album, and eleventh album overall, released March 1973 in the UK and the US. After a pair of low key self-produced albums that under-performed, Cosmic Wheels brought Donovan back to the pop/rock mainstream. It was his best production since splitting from Mickie Most in 1969, and it resonated with the prevailing glam rock sounds of the day (drawing comparisons to Marc Bolan and David Bowie). Donovan was backed by John "Rabbit" Bundrick, Suzi Quatro, Cozy Powell, Chris Spedding, and Alan White (forecasting Donovan's touring relationship with Yes). The sessions were partially recorded in the same studio as Alice Cooper when he was working on Billion Dollar Babies (which Donovan guested on). Cosmic Wheels is also remembered for "Intergalactic Laxative," the "hippie sci-fi novelty song" that became a concert staple.
