CAT STEVENS - Tea For The Tillerman (1970) (2 CD Deluxe Edition) 2008 @320

Mona Bone Jakon only began Cat Stevens' comeback. Seven months later, he returned with Tea for the Tillerman, an album in the same chamber-group style, employing the same musicians and producer, but with a far more confident tone. Mona Bone Jakon had been full of references to death, but Tea for the Tillerman was not about dying; it was about living in the modern world while rejecting it in favor of spiritual fulfillment. It began with a statement of purpose, "Where Do the Children Play?," in which Stevens questioned the value of technology and progress. "Wild World" found the singer being dumped by a girl, but making the novel suggestion that she should stay with him because she was incapable of handling things without him. "Sad Lisa" might have been about the same girl after she tried and failed to make her way; now, she seemed depressed to the point of psychosis. The rest of the album veered between two themes: the conflict between the young and the old, and religion as an answer to life's questions. Tea for the Tillerman was the story of a young man's search for spiritual meaning in a soulless class society he found abhorrent. He hadn't yet reached his destination, but he was confident he was going in the right direction, traveling at his own, unhurried pace. The album's rejection of contemporary life and its yearning for something more struck a chord with listeners in an era in which traditional verities had been shaken. It didn't hurt, of course, that Stevens had lost none of his ability to craft a catchy pop melody; the album may have been full of angst, but it wasn't hard to sing along to. As a result, Tea for the Tillerman became a big seller and, for the second time in four years, its creator became a pop star. [In 2008, Tea for the Tillerman appeared in a beautifully remastered edition containing a bonus disc with 11 tracks; and a booklet with brief essays by Yusuf Islam (Stevens' current name), producer Paul Samwell-Smith and guitarist Alun Davies, and complete lyrics and photos. The bonus material was written and recorded for the album. The disc opens with the original demo for "Wild World" with Stevens accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, perhaps the first recorded version of the track. This is followed by two selections -- "Longer Boats" and "Into White" -- taken from a solo concert at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. There's also a great 1969 piano demo of "Miles from Nowhere" that approaches the final album arrangement. The first time Stevens' wonderful studio/backing band appears is on "Hard Headed Woman," from a 1976 tour of Japan. The great Alun Davies, Stevens' right-hand mate on acoustic guitar is here, showing his dusky brilliance. The recording is solid but it's not perfect;, but it contains the drama and intimacy Stevens was capable of injecting his songs with in a live setting. Davies and Stevens' rapport on a stage is even more remarkable than it is in the studio, as a pair of performances from the Majikat Earth Tour in 1976 reveal. "Where Do the Children Play" is one of disc two's real highlights. The real rarities come near the end of the disc, though, with Stevens performing at Yusuf's Café in 2006 accompanied by Davies and a small band. Both songs "Father and Son" and "Wild World" have aged exceedingly well. Making this well worth the money for the update.] (William Ruhlmann, Allmusic)

CAT STEVENS - Teaser And The Firecat (1971)(2 CD Deluxe Edition) 2008 @320

This album, along with Tea For the Tillerman are a couple of the greatest singer/songwriter albums of all time..and they were both made by the same artist, Cat Stevens...at just about the same time. This album featured classics like "Moonshadow" and "Morning has Broken" and "Peace Train" ..as well as other songs many prefer to the hits....songs like "How Can I Tell You" and "If I Laugh". The production at the time was very tasteful and acoustic so they've held up over the decades. NOW..on to the bonus disc..
"Moonshadow" is from an early performance at LA's legendary TROUBADOUR club, the next six songs on the album are all included as demos...and wow ..hearing Cat Stevens on just his guitar running through these songs before recording is almost unbelievable for a fan like myself..truly a dream come true. The last few are more recent "Live" versions and they are also a nice treat although nothing like the demos.

If you love this album like millions of us do..the bonus material is absolutely worth it...
the remastering was already excellent on the previous edition so that wouldn't be my reason to upgrade…(Melody Maker)

The booklet features some cool pix and a nice intro/remembrance by Ca

CAT STEVENS - Matthew & Son '67 @320

Cat Stevens' Matthew & Son was among the handful of releases that introduced Decca Records' "offbeat"-oriented (but ultimately largely psychedelic/progressive) Deram label in England. Actually, Stevens' "I Love My Dog" launched the label in fine style by climbing to number 27 on the U.K. charts, and its follow-up, "Matthew & Son," hit number two, resulting in the release of the original album of the same name. The latter was not only a fine account of Stevens' early folk-influenced pop/rock sound, but was also a beautiful, candid audio "snapshot" of one side of Swinging London's musical ambience in late 1966 and early 1967. It melds tinkling harpsichords ("Matthew & Son") and moderately ambitious orchestrations (mostly horns and strings) on some songs ("I Love My Dog") with folky acoustic guitar on others ("Portabello Road"), a lot of it carrying highly expressive, weirdly personal lyrics. Though it was like pulling teeth to get some of those early records out from Decca, this album sounds today like the record that should have accompanied the American version of the Beatles' Rubber Soul onto millions of turntables. It's very distant from the sound that Stevens was ultimately known for, and in many ways, it's more dated than what he did for Island/A&M, but it's much more self-consciously accessible, arranged in different styles, ranging from vaudeville-style band accompaniment ("I See a Road") to trippy Donovan-esque ballads ("Baby Get Your Head Screwed On," "When I Speak to the Flowers," "Hummingbird").

Oh, thank you for the Cat Stevens! My vinyl copies are lovingly worn. I may not recognized these tracks without the accompanying pops and crackle. Such sweet music. From "The First Cut is the Deepest" all the way through to the "Peace Train" Cat Stevens has a wonderful catalogue of songs. Unfortunately my attempts to zippy share always fail however also don't miss the Harold and Maude soundtrack which includes the w0nDerFul "Don't Be Shy" and "If You Wanna Sing Out". There is also a "Demo" version of many of these early seventies songs, which shows even without adornment these songs are great. There is also a children's book of the story of Teaser and his Firecat that's also sweet. If I was going to have to live on an island I would run back into the house and grab my "Teaser and the Firecat" album. Unfortunately Cat got a little bitter after Teaser and although his later output sometimes sounds cranky and overcooked there are many charms and wonders one will find tucked inside. Thanks for these. I'm on the road to find out.

kevinpat --
Whenever I hear Cat Stevens I am taken back to the very early 70s sitting in a darkly blue smoke basement restaurant eating French Dip sandwiches. The guy across from me (his name was Archie and he was a huge guy with big red hair)says, "Ever notice that females cross their legs under the table while men don't?" I said, "Yeah, Archie" while I meekly uncrossed mine.

Is anyone having trouble with the Cat Stevens links???

I always hold up "Peace Train" as a song which does not rock. But is sure does roll. And the message is as true today as it was 44 years ago.

Thanks

If The New York Post told me my pants were on fire, I would not believe them!

I don't know the answer about Cat, but I don't think an article in that rag would convince me.

But I did laugh when the printed the headline "Headless man found in topless bar"

kevinpat said...

@JohnnyDiego…..I knew this guy who was a painter (canvas, not walls) and he would be at the bar, acting all Warhol-ish and "deep" with a drink and his legs crossed. I thought he was very cool. Although he always came to the bar alone, I never saw him leave without a woman or two.I tried to emulate that coolness. It didn't work all that well for me. Point being, Archie was wrong. Some men can cross and be cool.

@lemonflag…Right? ??! The NYPost is a Fox rag. There's not much credibility in the word "anonymous". And maybe that "headless man" was caught crossing his legs under the table? Just saying….

Thanks Gyro for Cat Stevens, it will be good to hear him during this summer. I had the same problem than Kevinpat, but with 45t, and I really enjoy to hear him again but with a good sound.
