Cat Stevens achieved phenomenal success with his early work, but it was Teaser and the Firecat, his third LP with Island Records – A&M in the U.S. – that propelled the singer/songwriter into superstardom, spawning some of his most unforgettable hits including "Moonshadow," "Peace Train" and "Morning Has Broken," songs by a youthful spiritual seeker, wise beyond his years that would lay the pretext for a poignant new wave of soulful troubadours and poets. Later, "The Wind" would see Teaser and the Firecat celebrated anew, rising to prominence following the song's use in Wes Anderson's much celebrated film Rushmore as well as the Oscar-winning Cameron Crowe film, Almost Famous.
Through his spell-binding gift for songwriting and his introspective vision, Cat delivered a universal sense of hope and peace in Teaser and the Firecat that still resonates profoundly to this day.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the seminal album "Teaser and the Firecat" ("Moonshadow," "Peace Train," "Morning Has Broken" and more), it was remastered from the original UK stereo master tapes by Yusuf, engineer David Hefti and album producer Paul Samwell-Smith at Abbey Road Studios.
