Cat Stevens – Izitso (LP, Gatefold, 1977, A&M Records SP-4702, Canada Pressing, Sealed)

Why This Record Matters
“Izitso” marks a stylistic shift for Cat Stevens, incorporating early electronic elements alongside his folk-rock foundation. Tracks like “(Remember The Days Of The) Old Schoolyard” and “Was Dog A Doughnut?” show a more experimental direction late in his A&M era.

Collector Note
Sealed Canadian gatefold pressing. While not his most in-demand title, sealed copies are less common and offer a clean example of his later-period work with unique stylistic crossover.
