Half a century later, Teaser and the Firecat has been given the ultimate treatment in a brand new Super Deluxe Edition set the most in-depth and definitive version of the album possible. As well as being part of this latter movement, Cat Stevens was himself inspired by it. Along with burgeoning heavy rock and the socially-conscious R&B of Funkadelic and Sly And The Family Stone, it was the era of the poetical singer-songwriter. With the вЂ™60s now in the rear-view mirror вЂ“ The Beatles gone, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin having already passed on, and Jim Morrison tragically joining their number in July вЂ™71 вЂ“ there was a distinct mood of change in the air. The 12 months of 1971 was a transitional year in pop culture in which the album joined John LennonвЂ™s Imagine, David BowieвЂ™s Hunky Dory, Joni MitchellвЂ™s Blue, Marvin GayeвЂ™s WhatвЂ™s Going On, The Rolling StonesвЂ™ Sticky Fingers and Led Zeppelin IV as the soundtrack to the momentous 500,000 strong anti-Vietnam war March on Washington D.C., the largest demonstration against US war in history, and the вЂњFight of the CenturyвЂќ at Madison Square Garden, New York City which saw Joe Frazer hand Muhammad Ali his first ever defeat. Teaser and the Firecat walked tall in what was a year of classic albums and events that would echo down the decades. Through his spell-binding gift for songwriting and his introspective vision, Cat delivered a universal sense of hope and peace in Teaser and the Firecat that still resonates profoundly to this day. Later, вЂњThe WindвЂќ would see Teaser and the Firecat celebrated anew, rising to prominence following the songвЂ™s use in Wes AndersonвЂ™s much celebrated film Rushmore as well as the Oscar-winning Cameron Crowe film, Almost Famous. вЂ“ that propelled Cat Stevens into superstardom, spawning some of his most unforgettable hits including вЂњMoonshadow,вЂќ вЂњPeace TrainвЂќ and вЂњMorning Has Broken,вЂќ songs by a youthful spiritual seeker, wise beyond his years that would lay the pretext for a poignant new wave of soulful troubadours and poets. Cat Stevens achieved phenomenal success with his early work, but it was Teaser and the Firecat, his third LP with Island Records вЂ“ A&M in the U.S.
