On 24th April 1970, Cat Stevens released his pivotal album, Mona Bone Jakon. It was to be the first in a trio of albums, including Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat, that over the course of two years marked a momentous change in direction for Stevens. Iconic songs such as 'Lady D'Arbanville', 'Where Do The Children Play?', 'Father and Son', 'Wild World', 'Peace Train', 'Morning Has Broken' and 'Moonshadow' were all recorded at this time, tracks that continue to resonate with audiences today.
