Cat Stevens/Yusuf - The Laughing Apple 2LP

2LP Vinyl

The 2LP set of Cat Stevens/Yusuf's The Laughing Apple contains an embossed cover and sticker. It also includes a 32-page booklet with new illustrations by the artist himself. This album marks Yusuf's return to his roots, producing new music 50 years after his debut album. Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith and featuring guitarist Alun Davies, the album follows the 60's trend of mixing original songs with covers from Yusuf's catalogue, finally giving his earliest material the recording he always wanted. The album features some spiritual songs, showcasing Yusuf's reflective and introspective nature. In addition, it offers updated versions of songs such as "Blackness of the Night" and "Northern Wind (Death of Billy the Kid)" from his debut album New Masters. The Laughing Apple also includes illustrations by Yusuf, making it feel like a whimsical storybook that takes listeners back to the garden of the Tillerman.
