1971 witnessed the release of some of the greatest albums of all time, including The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers, Carole Kings Tapestry, Marvin Gayes Whats Going On, Led Zeppelin IV, and John Lennons Imagine, to name but a few.

But one more classic was to come in November of that year, with the release of Cat Stevens Teaser and the Firecat.

Again produced by former Yardbird Paul Samwell-Smith, Cats third LP on Island Records (indeed, his third in 18 months) built on the extreme success of Tea for the Tillerman, and yielded some of his greatest songs including The Wind, Moonshadow, Peace Train, and Morning Has Broken.

Presented here using the 2020 Remastered audio, on 180-gram Neon Orange vinyl for the very first time, Teaser and the Firecat continues to hold a hallowed place in the pantheon of music for good reason.
