Description
Originally released 3 December 1978, Back to Earth would be Cat Stevens 11th studio album and his last for almost 30 years.
1977 and 1978 were a period of great change for Cat Stevens. He had formally embraced the Muslim faith, changed his name to Yusuf Islam, been awarded the Sun Peace Award by the United Nations and had reunited with producer Paul Samwell-Smith and guitarist/collaborator Alun Davies to embark on one last record before turning his back on the music industry, seemingly for good.
Sonically, the album was a return to the acoustic sound of Yusufs earlier work. Intended, in part, as his swan song to the recording industry. 2006s An Other Cup saw Yusuf return to music and with a re-found verve for his exceptional catalogue of work.
Original tape audio remastered at Abbey Road Studios.
All original pressing artwork fully restored.
Back To Earth anniversary edition marks the beginning of an exciting campaign of release activity from BMG and Yusuf with further details to be announced soon.
