Mona Bone Jakon

£159.99

Released: 4th December 2020. Back in 1970 and following a period of illness and recuperation, singer-songwriting troubadour Cat Stevens re-emerged with a new record deal with Island Records and a spiritual and artistic rebirth. 'Mona Bone Jakon', his first album for Island, showcased a markedly different change in direction for Cat, unveiling with it a remarkable set of new compositions.

This box is rounded out with a live 12-inch etched vinyl E.P. of a rare audience recording of 'Live At Plumpton Jazz & Blues Festival' from August 1970, and with a Blu-ray disc featuring the original promo video of 'Lady D'Arbanville', plus eight live TV performances, and the HD audio of the new 'Mona Bone Jakon 2020 Mix'.Back in 1970 and following a period of illness and recuperation, singer-songwriting troubadour Cat Stevens re-emerged with a new record deal with Island Records and a spiritual and artistic rebirth.
