Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
Kicking off A&M's ambitious Cat Stevens reissue program is this 20-song introduction. The set surveys all of Stevens's stages, from the orchestrated late-1960s sides through his early-'70s peak to his more eclectic late-1970s experiments. Following the progression makes for an interesting endeavor as Stevens learns to harness his ambitious ideas with arrangements that don't obscure his rhapsodic messages. Few artists of his generation were more gifted when it came to plucking timeless melodies out of thin air, and his sumptuous voice was always able to movingly convey his bittersweet lyrics. As a career overview (including one previously unreleased cut) this set achieves its goal, hitting all of the chart successes along the way and basically defining his role as a sensitive '70s singer-songwriter, but some fans may opt for the classic early-'70s studio records, which find Stevens at his most consistently touching. --Marc Greilsamer

Meh....,

This review is from: Very Best Of (Audio CD)
Guess I wasn't as big a fan as I thought. I know I should rate the product more on its merit than on my (possibly flawed) expectations, but I can't push myself to give more than 3 stars because I bought another compilation CD on the same order and it made me feel money was well spent where with this one I just kept hitting the "next" button on my remote for all but 3 songs. Sorry Cat! I was expecting to feel the same groove as I felt watching Harold and Maude and enjoying the soundtrack, but it just fell flat for me other than a couple of tracks.

This is the one your collection needs.,

This review is from: Very Best Of (Audio CD)
I consider this the most dope collection of Cat Stevens (in a single CD form). It has the most prolific of his songs from "The First Cut is the Deepest" and "Another Saturday Night". But it also has the most Treasured Cat Stevens song ever (by my opinion). If you Don't have "Morning has Broken" do yourself a favor even if you have to bust out an illegal download. This song actually started out as a church hymn, but stands alone as no other song does. Powerful and emotional, you can almost feel the lyrics hit you. Buy this CD.

The Best Cat Stevens Collection...,
By JR Pinto (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Very Best Of (Audio CD)
There are other "best of Cat Stevens" collections out there, but this is the one to buy. It is the only one that I know of which features The First Cut is the Deepest (my primary reason for buying it). It is a fairly comprehensive overview of his career from earliest onwards. All of his "greatest hits" really are included.
