Free Music Notes for Teaser and the Firecat [Deluxe Edition]
Free Music Review: Is the Deluxe Edition worth it??? ummmmm.....
Hit: 5 Stars
Short answer: No.
Long answer: The album itself (disc 1) is a five-star album, timeless folk pop. But by ear and by measurement, this is not a new remastering. It is the same as the standard single disc product, which was remastered in 1999 at Sterling Sound by Ted Jensen. If you buy the standard single CD edition of this album, you'll get the great remastered sound found here.
The packaging for the Deluxe edition is pretty. The booklet has a few notes from the producer and the guitarist for these sessions.
The bonus disc has 10 songs: five demo versions of songs from the album (nothing revelatory there, and the recording quality is variably good or fair) and five live versions of the remaining songs. The new Peace Train arrangement is a curiosity at best. I don't care for it. And the vocals on The Wind (live) are a little shaky. The other live cuts are better, but really there isn't enough special material here to justify a second CD. There was actually more than enough room on the first CD for the original album and the bonus cuts. It's only an excuse to charge the customer more, and to make the album fit the Deluxe 2-disc format.
Sure, if you are the kind of fan that has to have as much of Yusuf's output as you can -- good, bad, or indifferent -- then you'll need this. For the rest, it isn't good value. I heartily recommend the standard remastered 1-disc edition of this album. With the money saved, if you want more Cat Stevens, then buy one of his other albums like Mona Bone Jakon or Catch Bull at Four, or maybe there is a good live DVD available.
All the Deluxe really offers over the single disc release is some miniature album art, a few notes and a few decent live cuts.
