Cat Stevens: Back Beyond Yusuf / Cat StevensMona Bone Jakon • Tea For The Tillerman • Teaser and the Firecat ‘These albums are a part of my history, my views of life and the lifestyle of my generation, so it is important that they are documented here in this book. I hope the messages of my songs will continue to be relevant, which they seem to be today.’ – Yusuf / Cat StevensOn 24th April 1970, Cat Stevens released his pivotal album, Mona Bone Jakon. It was to be the first in a trio of albums, including Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat, that over the course of two years marked a momentous change in direction for Stevens. Iconic songs such as ‘Lady D’Arbanville’, ‘Where Do The Children Play?’, ‘Father and Son’, ‘Wild World’, ‘Peace Train’, ‘Morning Has Broken’ and ‘Moonshadow’ were all recorded at this time.Celebrating the 50th anniversary of these three ground-breaking albums, Cat Stevens: Back Beyond is the official chronicle of the period featuring lyrics, photographs, illustrations, and the first-hand recollections of Yusuf / Cat Stevens.'It has been a pleasure to work on this book. At its core, it's a celebration of three important albums that had a huge impact on who I am, both as a person and as a songwriter.' – Yusuf / Cat StevensThe PhotographyCat Stevens: Back Beyond'I was always quite conscious that whatever I laid down musically it would be something that lasts. It was also the recording of my own life and of what I was going through at the time.' - Yusuf / Cat StevensIn 1970, Cat Stevens returned to the music scene debuting his new catalogue of songs at the 10th National Jazz, Blues & Pop Music Festival in Plumpton. Tours of the US soon followed - featuring stripped-back, acoustic performances at venues such as the Fillmore East and the Troubadour - as Cat Stevens quickly captured the hearts of critical listeners, who latched on to the stories and expressions of self-discovery reflected in his lyrics.Chronicling this period in Cat Stevens: Back Beyond, the singer-songwriter's lyrics, recollections, and drawings are published alongside the work of some of the world's most famous photographers: from David Bailey and Annie Leibovitz to Brian Aris and Barrie Wentzell, David Wedgbury, Joe Sia, Jeffrey Mayer, Gered Mankowitz, Michael Putland, and many more.Cat Stevens: Back BeyondISBN: 9781905662715Limited: 1500 copiesSigned by: Yusuf / Cat StevensBinding: Quarter bound in black cloth and vegan leather with inset cover artwork, gold tooling and gilt page edgingBox: Archival slipcase with gold toolingExtras: 7" blue vinyl disc with unreleased demos for 'I Think I See The Light' and 'If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out!'
