Wear Your Love Like Heaven (Epic Records LN 24349 (monaural) / BN 26349 (stereo)) is the first record of the double album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden, the fifth album from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. Fearing low sales of a double album, Epic Records insisted the two records of the set also be released separately in the US. The second record of A Gift from a Flower to a Garden was released under the title For Little Ones. Wear Your Love Like Heaven, For Little Ones and A Gift from a Flower to a Garden were all released in December of 1967 in the US. The front cover photo design features a Pre-Raphelite style infrared photograph of Donovan on the moat in front of Bodium castle by Karl Ferris who was his and Jimi Hendrix's personal photographer.
