This is an incredible album. Even if you aren't a fan of Cat Stevens I think you will be after you hear this. Some of his most beautiful music and song writting is on this album.

If you loved the music from Harold and Maude, this is the only way to get Don't be Shy and Sing Out, Sing Out from the soundtrack. Overall, great, great album. Highly recommend!

had gotten this album on cassette from a friend years ago. Listened until the tape wore out. Finally figured out which record it was and just purchased it. Wow, it still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. What a great collection of songs!
Its not the hits that are on the first greatest hits, but I think they are better songs actually.

The first time I heard Cat Stevens, I knew I had found music for me. I was listening to his early work - 1970 - 1972, the Harold and Maude years. Something about the way his voice melds with his guitar and the meditative qualities of the performances made me connect to my own spirit. It is much like the way I felt the first time I heard the music of Alexi Murdoch on his album Four Songs and later when I first heard Alexi's song "Breathe" fromTime Without Consequence. I still get a similar feeling listening to this Cat Stevens cd today.

I rate this cd 5 stars because it has my two favorite Cat Stevens tunes, "If you Want to Sing Out, Sing Out", and "Trouble" as well as several others on the top of my list of favorites. This whole cd is highly listenable. It only has really good songs on it with that rich meditative quality that first attracted me to his music. If you want a collection of Cat Steven's work, this is the one I recommend most highly. For one of his original albums, I recommend Tea for the Tillerman. The only thing that could beat these two would be the soundtrack to the film Harold and Maude.

After the long hiatus since his days performing as Cat Stevens, I am glad to see that Yusuf Islam has come back to his guitar. I heard a story that he realized that it was Muslims who introduced the West to Guitar and thus reembraced his instrument. For those of you who thought he was forever lost to us, check out his new cd as Yusuf Islam, "An Other Cup" and I think you will find yourself reconnected to where he left off.

Different Cat work; Never the less, it is greatto play it and relax to it.
