Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com essential recording
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

"Yellow Delanie" continues to haunt November 16, 2009
M. Allen (Milwaukee, WI)
I originally bought this wonderful album in the 70's; the "yellow delanie" has haunted me ever since, to the point that I suggested "Delanie" as a name for my granddaughter to be born next year. Cat Stevens (or Yusuf Islam) writes such beautiful, gentle, joyful music that sounds unlike any other.

An old favorite October 27, 2009
John Bruns (IL, USA)
I have had the original LP for many years and it was always a favorite. Lately I seldom make the effort to play any of my vinyl and started looking for replacement CD's. This one sounds great and has all the artwork from the original record too.

One of the top albums ever, rated by Rolling Stone July 12, 2009
Stefan Doering (Brooklyn, NY)
I grew up with this album and just recently got it on CD. My favorite song is "Where Will the Children Play?", very appropriate for the times we live in.

In fact, I believe this song made a huge impact on me and my siblings, as three of the four of us are heavily involved in environmental businesses for the past 20 years.

You absolutely cannot go wrong with buying this CD.

Cat Stevens review May 20, 2009
Darrin Pears (Victoria, British Columbia Canada)
For myself, Cat Stevens is one of the worlds great artist. Tea for the Tillerman, is by far his greatest work as Cat Stevens. For anyone looking for the best of Cat Stevens, this is the must have CD.
It bothered me that we lost Cat Stevens as we knew him, but now we have Yusuf Islam. Set aside the religion and hate, and just listen to the music, I think you will find that Cat Stevens is still here. Try his CD: An Other Cup Yusuf.

Consider the New Deluxe Edition With Extra Tracks May 7, 2009
Great Faulkner's Ghost (Washington, DC)
This obviously great album is even greater with the remastered Deluxe Edition that came out in 2008. The extra tracks are worthwhile, consisting of live performances, demos and outtakes on a second dic. The sound also received a new 24 bit remaster and is more open and clear than this single disc 2000 remaster. Note: The same comments apply to Teaser and the Firecat, Steven's other great masterpiece from this era.
