Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat" catapulted this English prog-rock legend into gold and platinum territory upon its hit
release in 1976. While previously achieving cult-like status in the states with his unique brand of folk/rock melodies
and brilliant musicianship, Al Stewart finally received his well earned due with possibly one of the finest albums ever
recorded in the classic rock era.
Produced and recorded at Abbey Road by rock icon Alan Parsons (Alan Parson Project/The Beatles/Pink Floyd)
"Year of the Cat" was a stellar venture for both the artist and producer as its nine champion tunes have all truly stood
the test of time. Aside from the massive top charting smash single "Year of the Cat", there were more classics contained
like the brilliantly haunting "One Stage Before", the rocking fare of "If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It "and the followup smashes "On The Border" and "Broadway Hotel."
Album cover art creators Hipgnosis (Pink Floyd) also designed the rare gatefold album cover, truly making this
one of the more recognizable releases of that time, as it continues to be a much heralded item in Al Stewart's arsenal
of masterworks.
