2 Spike Milligan Narration
1971: a year that witnessed the release of some of the greatest albums of all time, including The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers, Carole King’s Tapestry, Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On, Led Zeppelin IV, and John Lennon’s Imagine, to name but a few. But there was one more classic to come in November of that year – Cat Stevens’ Teaser and the Firecat.
Stevens’ third LP on Island Records, and his third in 18 months, the album built on the extreme success of Tea for the Tillerman, and yielded some of his greatest songs including “The Wind”, “Moonshadow”, “Peace Train”, and “Morning Has Broken”.
To mark the 50th anniversary of this landmark record, Universal Music Catalogue and Island Records will issue a multi-format release suite, including a very special 4CD, Blu-Ray, 2LP + 7” Super Deluxe Edition in a clamshell box with a 108 page 12” essay book and a 44 page Teaser and the Firecat illustration book; a 4CD + Blu-Ray Super Deluxe Edition in a rigid slipcase with a 108 page 12” essay book, as well as a 2CD Deluxe Edition, and 1CD and 1LP Remastered albums.
The Super Deluxe Edition (4CD, Blu-Ray, 2LP +7”) set is the most in-depth and definitive version of Teaser and the Firecat possible. CD1 features the brand new 50th Anniversary Remaster of the album, with audio from the original Island UK stereo master tape prepared by Yusuf and his engineer David Hefti, and remastered at Abbey Road Studios and overseen by album producer Paul Samwell-Smith.
