Mona Bone Jakon (50th Anniversary

Excellant album at a great price.

These 2CD Deluxe editions are are very well made and at least offer some of the Demos tracks off the Large Boxset, although I think Yusuf could have put ALL of the Demo tracks on this 2 CD set. I would have loved to have been able to afford the Large Boxset but way too expensive for me to afford EVEN at the reduced prices Amazon have been offering them lately. So I will just have to make do with the 2CD Deluxe Edition although if Yusuf/Cat Stevens happens to read this review ......can I suggest he speaks to Ian Anderson out of Jethro Tull and find out how Jethro Tull manage to offer similar CD/DVD Disc Content in an amazing hardback book for around £30 compared to the prices of the Cat boxsets, I know the Cat box sets also have vinyl in them and I've never understood WHY. Please in future could you offer consumers the choice of either a separate Vinyl or CD boxset. Not many people want both formats in the same box. Anyway happy with this 2CD set.

The best of his 3 mid 70's albums.

Love this album

A nice album from Cat Stevens. Here are the well known ”Lady D’Arbanville” and ”Katmandu”. This album differ from the two first he did, which were more ”pop oriented”. CD two has some demos, BBC recording and two live recordings from the Plumpton Jazz & Blues Festival. The CD cover is in a nice ”book format” with information about the tracks. The sound quality is very good too. Recommended!

El inicio de los 70 significa para Cat Stevens el cambio del pop al folk introspectivo. Con Mona Bone Jackon inicia una tetralogía impresionante que continuaría con Tea For The Tillerman, Teaser And The Firecat y Catch Bull At Four. En esta edición del 50 aniversario se incluye un segundo CD con demos y temas en directo (los dos últimos con no muy buen sonido). De cualquier forma, muy recomendable.

Cette remastérisation de l'album et des documents sonores connexes est exceptionnelle. Elle donne l'impression d'être présent dans le studio d'enregistrement.

Mooie verpakking, prachtige muziek. Goede opbouw muziek en teksten, even terug in de tijd jaren 70.
