Start With the Cover When Judging This Album

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I think I have every album ever made by Cat Stevens, and this is one of my two favorites. (The cover is Stevens' own work: before Cat Stevens decided to try his hand at professional musicianship, he was in art school.) "If I Laugh" and "How Can I Tell You" are among the most heart-rending songs in my family's extensive music collection. (IMO, few musicians do the empty-heartsick-lonely thang as well as Cat Stevens.) "Tuesday's Dead," with full, fun, upbeat instrumentation, is probably the most upbeat song on the album - along with "Ruby Love," a hat-tip to Stevens' Greek roots. If you like Cat Stevens but don't have any of his albums, this is a good one to start with. Along with the songs I've mentioned, it features three hits you'll surely recognize ("Morning Has Broken," "Moonshadow" and "Peace Train").

Teaser and The Firecat

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I purchaed my first copy of "Teaser and The Firecat", as an LP back in 1971.

It was produced by Univesal Island Records and I used to play it on a what we used to call, a "radiogram' record player. Obviously this equipment was not up to the standard of today's systems, however, I can remember distinctly the great quality of the playback and I was always particularly impressed with the fact that you could actually hear the sound that was created by Cat Steven's fingers running down the strings. I always thought that this LP was one of the most technically perfect recordings that I had ever heard.
As a matter of fact my son now has the original copy of that LP and although it took a fair sort of "flogging" over the years it still sounds perfect.

Because of the more practical use of music systems today my son and I decided to purchase the CD version of this great album. With the remastering I am pleased to say that the playback is now even better than the original, which I always thought would be impossible.

I thouroughly commend this CD to anyone who is looking for the perfect sound with great compositions rendered by a first class artist. Don't deny yourself the pleasure.

Review Comments: I love Teasr and the Firecat, but ordered it after looking thru so many CD's and didnt get the main song I wanted (Wild World). I lost all my music many years ago and am just now getting to replace it all and Cat stevens is one of my "staples".
His music is laid back and the acoustics come out nicely on Teaser. I would recommend this CD to anyone as a first.

Review Comments: Incredible work. I've just began collecting all of my favorite albums from that era to CD and was ecstatic when I received this!

Consider the New Deluxe Edition With Extra Tracks

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This obviously great album has been augmented by this remastered Deluxe Edition that came out in 2008. The extra tracks consist of live performances, demos and outtakes on a second disc. The sound also on this 24 bit remaster is open and clear, and appear to be the same as that on the single disc 2000 remaster. Note: The same comments apply to Tea for the Tillerman, Steven's other great masterpiece from this era.
