Featuring Cat Stevens' earliest hits and other rarities, this heavyweight 180g stereo remaster of Matthew & Son is a treat for fans old and new.
Having grown up above his parents' cafe in the heart of London's West End, Cat Stevens emerged from the folk club scene to release his debut album, Matthew & Son, in 1967 on the newly established Deram label, a subsidiary of Decca. It reached number 7 in the UK charts and supported by the singles "I Love My Dog" and "Matthew & Son - the latter reaching number 2 in the UK charts - elevated him to the status of a teen idol. Simultaneously, Cat's songs were being recorded by other artists such as The Tremoloes who had a hit with "Here Comes My Baby", also in 1967, which helped to establish his reputation as a truly gifted songwriter.
This release features the 1967 sleeve notes by manager Mike Hurst, as well as a download code for the high-quality digital album.
