Back To Earth Limited 180gram Vinyl LP

Yusuf Cat Stevens Back To Earth anniversary edition Limited 180gram Vinyl LP

Overview:

Originally released 3 December 1978, Back to Earth would be Cat Steven’s 11th studio album and his last for almost 30 years.

1977 and 1978 were a period of great change for Cat Stevens. He had formally embraced the Muslim faith, changed his name to Yusuf Islam, been awarded the Sun Peace Award by the United Nations and had reunited with producer Paul Samwell-Smith and guitarist/collaborator Alun Davies to embark on one last record before turning his back on the music industry, seemingly for good.

Sonically, the album was a return to the acoustic sound of Yusuf’s earlier work. Intended, in part, as his swan song to the recording industry. 2006’s An Other Cup saw Yusuf return to music and with a re-found verve for his exceptional catalogue of work.

BMG and Cat-O-Log Records re-release Back To Earth as a special anniversary edition.

Original tape audio remastered at Abbey Road Studios.
All original pressing artwork fully restored.

Back To Earth anniversary edition marks the beginning of an exciting campaign of release activity from BMG and Yusuf with further details to be announced soon.
