Review - Amazon.com
This is a pretty good collection overall, featuring 20 hits and should've-been-hits from the voluminous Cat Stevens catalog, including cuts from the Harold and Maude soundtrack. But there are also important omissions here, like "Wild World." For that, you'll need to go back to the Tea for the Tillerman LP, or shoulder some overlap by getting the mid-'70s Greatest Hits package. It actually wouldn't be such a bad idea to snap up some original Cat Stevens albums--Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat are thick with hits, and each has a certain...cohesiveness that's lost when not heard in its entirety. --Gavin McNett

- Best Album That Money Can Buy

It's all here (except for maybe "I wish, I wish") - every Cat Stevens song you wanted, all on the same cd. I bought it because it had the majority of the songs from the "Harold and Maude" soundtrack. When you're depressed, nothing beats his music.

- One notable omission

A pretty good collection, assume leaving out Wild World was some producer's or techie's mind fart.

- Great CD

Cat Stevens Classic Volume 24 is a great CD. I remember buying several albums to listen to many of the songs that are contained in this CD. Great CD!

- Great Early Cat Stevens and some not so great later stuff

The first time I heard Cat Stevens, I knew I had found music for me. I was listening to his early work - 1970 - 1972, the

years. Something about the way his voice melds with his guitar and the meditative qualities of the performances made me connect to my own spirit. It is much like the way I felt the first time I heard the music of Alexi Murdoch on his cd

and later when I first heard Alexi's song "Breathe" on

. I still get a similar feeling listening to this Cat Stevens cd today.

I rate this cd 5 stars because it has my two favorite Cat Stevens tunes, "If you Want to Sing Out, Sing Out", and "Trouble". However, this cd also has some of his later loud songs that lack that rich meditative quality that first attracted me to his music.

After the long hiatus since his days performing as Cat Stevens, I am glad to see that Yusuf Islam has come back to his guitar. I heard a story that he realized that it was Muslims who introduced the West to Guitar and thus reembraced his instrument. For those of you who thought he was forever lost to us, check out his new cd as Yusuf Islam, "

" and I think you will find yourself reconnected to where he left off.
