YUSUF CAT STEVENS 8211 Teaser And The Firecat (Remastered) 8211 LP 8211 Vinyl MAR 28

LP 140g Black Vinyl featuring remastered audio, with vinyl cut at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios. Following the 1967 Decca releases of Matthew & Son and New Masters, Cat Stevens became a bonefide pop star. However, stardom and a year of recovering from TB gave him pause and time to reflect. Emerging from his recuperation with a new deal with Island Records, 1970 saw the release of two new LPs, which immediately cemented his credentials as the new British star of the singer/songwriter genre.The first of those two albums,Mona Bone Jakon, came in April 1970 and introduced the audience to the Cat Stevens sound we know and love today. Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith (formerly of The Yardbirds), the album featured the single Lady DArbanville as well as the fan favourites I Wish, I Wish and Maybe Youre Right. The track Katmandu also featured Peter Gabriel on flute. Tea for the Tillerman followed in November 1970 and is arguably Cats best-known and most cherished album. The album featured the classic tracks Where Do The Children Play?, Wild World, and Father And Son. Teaser and the Firecat, Stevens third LP in a mere 18 months, was released in September 1971. The album built on the overwhelming success of Tea for the Tillerman and yielded some of his greatest hits, including The Wind, Moonshadow, Peace Train, and Morning Has Broken.
