I originally bought this wonderful album in the 70's; the "yellow delanie" has haunted me ever since, to the point that I suggested "Delanie" as a name for my granddaughter to be born next year. Cat Stevens (or Yusuf Islam) writes such beautiful, gentle, joyful music that sounds unlike any other.

I have had the original LP for many years and it was always a favorite. Lately I seldom make the effort to play any of my vinyl and started looking for replacement CD's. This one sounds great and has all the artwork from the original record too.

I grew up with this album and just recently got it on CD. My favorite song is "Where Will the Children Play?", very appropriate for the times we live in.
In fact, I believe this song made a huge impact on me and my siblings, as three of the four of us are heavily involved in environmental businesses for the past 20 years.
You absolutely cannot go wrong with buying this CD.
"Cat Stevens review"

For myself, Cat Stevens is one of the worlds great artist. Tea for the Tillerman, is by far his greatest work as Cat Stevens. For anyone looking for the best of Cat Stevens, this is the must have CD. It bothered me that we lost Cat Stevens as we knew him, but now we have Yusuf Islam. Set aside the religion and hate, and just listen to the music, I think you will find that Cat Stevens is still here. Try his CD: An Other Cup Yusuf.
"Consider the New Deluxe Edition With Extra Tracks"
This obviously great album is even greater with the remastered Deluxe Edition that came out in 2008. The extra tracks are worthwhile, consisting of live performances, demos and outtakes on a second dic. The sound also received a new 24 bit remaster and is more open and clear than this single disc 2000 remaster. Note: The same comments apply to Teaser and the Firecat, Steven's other great masterpiece from this era.
"This is classic Cat Stevens"

Luis Mejia - Listening to Tea For The Tillerman all the way through is as peaceful as rewarding; it's hard to find a Stevens' repertoire so abundant of well crafted songs. What makes the album a classic is the message and the lyrics sector; you can hear with a sentimental ear how each song is masterfully touching and yet compelling, and they keep a simple formula which almost seems minimalistic to it's themes. The opener "Where Do The Children Play" gives the moral completeness of the artist, as Cat Stevens is one of the most socially conscious and interested individual in the music business; even for soft rock. "Hard Headed Woman", "Wild World" and "Sad Lisa" go through the same road, slow rythms covered by an instrospective mood, light themes, and a pair of simple acustic guitars to give the songs flavor. Also "Wild World" was a big hit for Stevens, remaining on top of his famous works along with "The First Cut Is The Deepest". After "Sad Lisa" the album starts to become faster and interesting; songs as "Miles From Nowhere", "Long Boats" and "Into White" are catchier and rythmical. And then again "Father And Son" and "But I Might Die Tonight" return us to the simple, beautiful mood of the album. It's such a well arranged album, each group of songs bring the listener a delightful interest to hear the album all the way through, and at last it leaves you comfortable and willing to listen to it again.
