Back in 1970 and following a period of illness and recuperation, singer-songwriting troubadour Cat Stevens re-emerged with a new record deal with Island Records and a spiritual and artistic rebirth. ??Mona Bone Jakon??, his first album for Island, showcased a markedly different change in direction for Cat, unveiling with it a remarkable set of new compositions that included classics like ??Trouble??, ??Maybe You??re Right?? and the UK hit single ??Lady D??Arbanville??.
To commemorate the album??s 50th anniversary comes this new 180-gram vinyl version containing a stunning new 2020 remaster of ??Mona Bone Jakon?? by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road, overseen by original producer Paul Samwell-Smith.
