Yusuf / Cat Stevens Teaser & The Firecat Limited Gatefold Vinyl LP
Overview:
1971: a year that witnessed the release of some of the greatest albums of all time, including The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers, Carole King’s Tapestry, Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On, Led Zeppelin IV, and John Lennon’s Imagine, to name but a few. But there was one more classic to come in November of that year – Cat Stevens’ Teaser and the Firecat.
Stevens’ third LP on Island Records, and his third in 18 months, the album 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”.
To mark the 50th anniversary of this landmark record, on 12th November 2021 Universal Music Catalogue / Island Records will issue a multi-format release suite, including a very special 4CD/BD/2LP/7” Super Deluxe Edition in a clamshell box with a 108 page 12” essay book and a 44 page Teaser and the Firecat illustration book, a 4CD/BD Super Deluxe Edition in a rigid slipcase with a 108 page 12” essay book, as well as a 2CD Deluxe Edition, and 1CD and 1LP Remastered albums.
Following 2020’s 50th anniversary editions of the era-defining ‘Tea for the Tillerman’ and ‘Mona Bone Jakon’, 2021 sees Yusuf / Cat Stevens celebrate 1971’s landmark ‘Teaser and the Firecat, with a new 50th Anniversary Remaster on 180G vinyl. The 50th Anniversary remaster was completed at Abbey Road Studios, and was overseen by original album producer, Paul Samwell-Smith.
