Cat Stevens’ fifth LP on Island Records, Foreigner, was released in July 1973, and featured the single “The Hurt.” Yusuf had a dedicated fan base coming into this release – the first he solely wrote and produced himself; Foreigner featured a different sound than its predecessors. Newly remastered, Foreigner will be reissued on 180g black 1LP vinyl and on CD. The initial production runs of CD and LP formats will feature the super rare colour-front cover (originally released only on first US pressings in 1973). Vinyl format feature a replica 12” lyric card insert. CD features a 20 page booklet 

180g black vinyl – rare colour front cover, emboss laminated LP sleeve, & 12″ lyric card insert

Foreigner, released in 1973, was Cat Stevens’ fifth LP with Island Records and represents the adventurous, risk-taking streak in his character. In a departure from his largely acoustic sound, the album saw Cat explore his love of R&B and Soul music, as can be heard on the record’s main single, ‘The Hurt.’ Recorded largely in Jamaica with an all-star band and the first record to be produced solely by Cat himself, Foreigner is deep, funky and rich with layered meaning.
Newly remastered, Foreigner will be reissued on 180g black 1LP vinyl with replica 12” lyric card insert. The initial production run will feature the super rare colour-front cover (originally released only on first US pressings in 1973).
Release Date: 26th July
