Tea for the Tillerman (50th Anniversary)

Sealed - Brand new 180 gram limited edition audiophile vinyl in gatefold cover.

'Tea For The Tillerman' is regarded as Cat Stevens' finest album and a gem in the crown of early 1970s singer/songwriterdom. Stevens manages to have his cake and eat it too, simultaneously achieving pop accessibility and artistic relevance. The feel is decidedly gentle and spare. Apart from the occasional string section, Stevens is accompanied only by a three-piece band as he sings his introspective lyrics with appreciable favor. This is the definitive pressing of a beautiful recording.

Seven months after 'Mona Bone Jakon', 'Tea For The Tillerman' was released confirming the sensational rebirth of Cat Stevens as a spiritual seeker capable of drawing from a seemingly bottomless well of imaginative inspiration. Here, his new-found gentle and folk-oriented style was artfully weaved with urgent, morally demanding questions beneath bewitching melodies. This soul-searching masterpiece felt simultaneously like a deliberate reaction to what Cat saw in the world as well as his own struggle for answers, and would continue to resonate through countless generations to come. This is a remastered edition.
