Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Cat Stevens tends to be lumped in with the early-'70s singer-songwriter school led by James Taylor and Carole King, but he actually fits in rather neatly with such wistful English contemporaries as Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, and Donovan. Tea for the Tillerman's "Wild World," "Into White," and "Longer Boats" indicate that he may have been a more gifted tunesmith than the lot of them. As with the best of the Brit folk-rockers, Stevens mixed melancholy with whimsy. Yes, he was prone to airy platitudes, but when he harnessed his eccentricities, as he did throughout this 1970 masterwork, you had something truly distinctive. A natural cult artist, à la Tim Buckley and Leonard Cohen, Stevens connected with record-buyers to the tune of 25 million units sold before he changed his name to Yusuf Islam, established an Islamic school, and raised a ruckus by supporting Ayatollah Khomeini's death decree against author Salman Rushdie. This remastered 2000 version of the 1970 recording, which was overseen by the artist, is a vast improvement over the earlier CD reissue. --Steve Stolder

Tea for the Tillerman
I was so excited when my CD arrived. I used to listen to this album with my mother,(she is no longer with us now) boy how it brought back special memories. I smile every time I listen to it.
Thank you,
RFID ruins album art
The music is Cat Stevens. It's as always great.
The RFID tag that is stuck to the album art will ruin it when removed.
Bad Move whomever had the idea of putting RFID tags on album artwork.
Tea for the Tillerman- trip down memory lane
I have been searching for this particular Cat Stevens album for years. The CD is vibrant and memory filled. I love the relaxing music. Takes me back to my youth.
