Description

Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman
LP, Album | A&M Records | Cat. No. SP-4280 | Canada | 1970

One of the defining albums of the singer-songwriter era — Tea For The Tillerman is Cat Stevens at his most searching and sublime. Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith with guitar by Alun Davies and string arrangements by Del Newman, the album moves from the gentle urgency of Where Do The Children Play? and Wild World through the intimate Sad Lisa and Father & Son to the meditative On The Road To Find Out. A record that rewards every listen. This is a Canadian first release pressing on A&M Records Canada Ltd. — gold background label with rectangular A&M logo (not the oversize reissue logo); Shorepak Can. Pat. No. 758888 on back cover; small inner ridge only on labels; "Manufactured and Distributed in Canada by A&M Records, Canada, Ltd." stated on back cover lower right and on label periphery.

Notes & Comments

All 1970 "first release" variants do not use the oversize background A&M logo found on Reissues. Labels of all first releases use gold background with rectangular A&M logo on left side of spindle. Distinguishing characteristics from other Canadian first release variants as SP-4280: Back cover says "Shorepak Can. Pat. No. 758888, 1967" along bottom - This may be unique to this variant of the release "Manufactured and Distributed in Canada by A&M Records, Canada, Ltd." - The location or absence of this credit distinguishes similar variants from one another. For THIS release it is stated in last two lines of block text lower right corner of back cover, AND and on lower periphery of LP labels. Many labels also have a second "ridge" half an inch from the edge of the label; this one has only a small inner ridge. THIS release does not include "Manufactured in Canada" above the right side data beginning "Stereo," as found on some similar releases.
