Cat Stevens is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and painter. Born on November 5, 1974 in Jacksonville, North Carolina, USA. He has made a significant impact on the music industry with his prolific body of work across various genres, particularly rock and alternative country.

Known for his versatility and creativity, Cat Stevens has captivated audiences worldwide with his heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies. His marriage to Mandy Moore in Savannah, Georgia in March 2009 brought him further into the public eye.

Inspired by artists such as Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Josh Ritter, Whiskeytown, and many others from a diverse range of musical backgrounds; Cat Stevens continues to push boundaries and create music that resonates with fans old and new.

50th Anniversary reissue. Following his spiritual and artistic rebirth, and hot on the heels of his incredibly well received release, Mona Bone Jakon, Cat Stevens unveiled his second album of the year in November 1970 … and it was to become one of the defining musical statements of the new decade. Tea For The Tillerman, not only consolidated Cat’s success in the UK and forged him a glittering new career in the USA, it also set him on the road to global superstardom and gave the world songs like Wild World, Father and Son, Where Do The Children Play? and many more.

the songs’ messages as powerfully relevant today as they were in 1970, the original album is represented here on CD by a brand new 2020 remaster at Abbey Road Studios by Geoff Pesche, overseen by original producer Paul Samwell-Smith, as well as a new 2020 Mix on CD by David Hefti. It also includes, in full, Yusuf’s September 2020 reimagined Tea For The Tillerman 2 album featuring new interpretations of the classic originals. The box also includes an exclusive fourth CD of outtakes, alternate versions and demos, and a fifth featuring 25 live performances from 1971 including some recorded at the legendary LA music venue The Troubadour.

Alongside the 5CDs and gatefold vinyl LP the box also comes with a live 12” vinyl E.P. of the Troubadour recordings and, on BluRay, the original promo video of Father and Son, plus live performances, and the HD audio of the new Tea For The Tillerman 2020 Mix. Also included is a 98-page beautifully illustrated hardcover book with extensive new sleevenotes. Finally housed in a card envelope within the box is a Pick Up A Good Book bookmark, a Yusuf / Cat Stevens designed Miles From Nowhere print, a reproduction handwritten lyric sheet for Miles From Nowhere, a fold-out Live From The Troubadour 1970 poster, and a Tea For The Tillerman sticker.
