One of the last "World Of..." released in both mono and stereo, first available late 1970. My favorite Cat Stevens period is his Island years - from "Mona Bone Jakon" up to "Numbers". Of what he did for Deram I like the singles best and therefore this is exactly what the doctor ordered. Apart from one cut each from the "Matthew And Son" and "New Masters" albums all here were A:s or B:s of 45:s. As with many other monos from this serie it's hard to tell exactly which versions were folded and which were true, but this sounds about right most of the time so if they're all folds it's still very nicely done and good to the ears. Got many favorites here and then especially the non-LP "Where Are You". His last Deram single and to my gut one of his most touching songs. Released just before he was changing label with hardly any promotion and was soon forgotten by fans who rather dove in to the new Island adventure. Great tune about longing, still relevant. This album has been issued and reissued all over the world on LP and cassette through the years. German CD on Spectrum (844 068-2). Premiere UK mono had label as shown here in a laminated cover with die-cut hole on rear and red rim inner. (WÖF*) (UKÖ*) (YMÖ*)
