1967 Debut Reissued On 180g Vinyl LP for the First Time In Decades!

Cat Stevens grew from being a teen idol of the 1960s into one of the most influential singer-songwriters of all time. In addition to his vast musical achievements, his lifelong spiritual quest has added intrigue and depth to a groundbreaking career. Stevens released his debut album, Matthew & Son, in 1967. It reached number 7 in the UK charts and established his early reputation as a teen idol. The album adheres to the sonic aesthetic of British '60s pop music with its diverse instrumentation and orchestral flourishes. Singles such as ‘‘Matthew & Son," which reached number 2 in the UK, and "Here Comes My Baby," a hit for The Tremeloes in 1967, gave hints of the songwriting legacy to come. Reissued here on 180g vinyl LP for the first time in decades!
