Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman (1970)
I’m not a great Cat Stevens fan but couldn’t resist buying this 2CD, 50th Anniversay edition of his best? (selling) album rather cheaply at Rotorua’s “Q Records”.

commentsThis amazing recording has been haunting my dreams lately (as well as causing a few offline listening nightmares on my iPhone with the finiky Tidal app) The 34 minute, single track is like nothing you have ever heard, and if you have the patience, has one of the most haunting melodies ever to hit your ears.
commentsThe themes were: THE FRENCH CONNECTION
commentsAs a semi-completist Bowie-phile, I was inspired to acquire this 3CD box of revisited, pre-fame, early recordings. As a school kid in the early 70’s, and before I really knew who David Bowie was, I remember listening to the 1967 record “David Bowie”.
commentsA re-listen to this fabulous record cements this as one of the very best releases of 2022. Nothing conveys New Zealand’s societal pressures and bleak outlook, perceived or otherwise, better than Tom Scott.
