Product Description 2000 remastered reissue of the singer/songwriter\'s 1970 fifth album. Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith (the Yardbirds, Renaissance, Carly Simon). It was the second album he released in 1970 with Cat once again illustrating the cover artwork. This landmark album was listed in the 100 top selling albums of the 70\'s. in 2003, Rolling Stone Magazine included this album in it\'s "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". in 2006, the album was included in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". in 2007, the album was included in the list of "The Definitive 200 Albums of All Time" released by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Several tracks from the album were also included in the cult film titled Harold and Maude, in 1971. The album includes hits "Wild World", "Hard Headed Woman" & "Father and Son" a sentimental favorite of the era. Amazon.com Cat Stevens tends to be lumped in with the early-\'70s singer-songwriter school led by James Taylor and Carole King, but he actually fits in rather neatly with such wistful English contemporaries as Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, and Donovan. Tea for the Tillerman \'s "Wild World," "Into White," and "Longer Boats" indicate that he may have been a more gifted tunesmith than the lot of them. As with the best of the Brit folk-rockers, Stevens mixed melancholy with whimsy. Yes, he was prone to airy platitudes, but when he harnessed his eccentricities, as he did throughout this 1970 masterwork, you had something truly distinctive. A natural cult artist, à la Tim Buckley and Leonard Cohen, Stevens connected with record-buyers to the tune of 25 million units sold before he changed his name to Yusuf Islam, established an Islamic school, and raised a ruckus by supporting Ayatollah Khomeini\'s death decree against author Salman Rushdie. This remastered 2000 version of the 1970 recording, which was overseen by the artist, is a vast improvement over the earlier CD reissue. --Steve Stolder
