Tea for the Tillerman [Deluxe Edition] Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Get this and Teaser and the Firecat and treat yourself right!!!
Comment: Along with "Teaser and the Firecat" this album represents the first half of the greatest one/two punch a singer songwriter has ever released. Recorded in around 1970 ...the spare instrumentation and wonderfully timeless songs still hold up today!

The remastering was excellent on the previous edition so that isn't the big deal here...its the bonus CD. While not as exciting as the Bonus disc for Teaser which featured many solo demo recordings by Cat Stevens...the bonus tracks on this....mostly "live" versions of the album tracks are still a welcome addition to the collection of any Cat Stevens fan...and I'm not ashamed to say I am and have always been. The singular Demo...the classic "wild world" by Cat on acoustic guitar is worth the price alone for me....the booklet that comes with it features some nice pix and an intro written sept '08 by Cat and notes from his producer and guitarist..
a very nice presentation of one of the greatest albums of all time!

Enjoy....
