Majikat - Earth Tour 1976

Catalogue No: ER200412

Cat Stevens was one of the most successful solo performers of the sixties and seventies racking up over 50 million album sales worldwide. He had a string of hit singles in many territories, including 11 in the UK and 12 in the USA, with tracks such as Moonshadow, Wild World, Another Saturday Night, Lady D’Arbanville, Banapple Gas and Oh Very Young – all of which are included here. Many of his songs have also been hits for other artists, most recently Boyzone with Father & Son, which they took to #2 in the UK chart in the nineties. The concert featured on this CD was recorded on the Majikat North American tour in 1976. It was an ambitious tour involving live magicians, synchronised film projection and a specially constructed stage. Eighteen months after this concert he quit the music business and changed his name to Yusuf Islam. He didn’t perform on stage again for nearly thirty years. Restoration of the sound has been completely supervised by Yusuf Islam.
