Music

Cat Stevens' recording career spans 12 years from October 1966 to November 1978. In all, he recorded 11 albums but his most creative and interesting period was probably whilst he was recording 'Tea for the Tillerman' and 'Teaser and the Firecat' during 1970 and 1971. With the hit single Wild World entering the US charts in 1971, Cat Stevens flew to America to visit KCET Studios in Los Angeles where this intimate concert, which features the best of his repertoire at the time, was recorded. This live, rare classic performance, in its simplicity, captures the warmth of his studio recordings but with even more passion and depth. After all these years, it is good to be reminded of Cat Stevens' original and creative talent and the huge contribution he made to the singer/songwriter genre.
