It is impossible to compile a single-disc greatest-hits compilation for Cat Stevens that will come close to satisfying all of his admirers. The Very Best of Cat Stevens is the fifth major attempt to do so and, like its predecessors, it is challenged by its subject's success. Remember Cat Stevens: The Ultimate Collection is the longest of the five (24 tracks) and may be the most comprehensive. But The Very Best of Cat Stevens, released just a year later, has several advantages that make it more appealing. To begin with, it is the only compilation to sequence chronologically songs from every one of Stevens' albums, including the experimental Foreigner. It also contains the delightful folk creed "The Wind," which was a glaring omission from the so-called Ultimate Collection. Most significantly, it contains the previously unreleased "I've Got a Thing About Seeing My Grandson Grow Old." Stevens recorded a demo of the song during the Mona Bone Jakon sessions in 1970, but it never saw the light of day until it was remixed for this collection. Perhaps this was because it was considered too eccentric for public consumption, straddling the line between the hook-rich pop of Stevens' '60s records and the groundbreaking folk-rock of his '70s efforts. If so, the public was vastly underestimated. The song is a buried treasure that fits in perfectly in the company of Stevens' best work. ~ Evan Cater

5 stars Nice Collection of Cat's Work
Cat Stevens was one of those musicians whose albums were a must have back when I was in high school in the mid70s. Every album release was an event and of course I'd save up some of my allowance to rush out and buy his latest LP. You can't go wrong with this if you want a compilation of his terrific songs. Very enjoyable.

5 stars Beautiful !
This CD summarizes his career. Cat Stevens is one of the greatest Singers/Songwriters of the seventies. I grew up listening to his music, and I can tell you, if you had to choose to buy only one of his CD's, this will be it. I highly recommend it. Never got a chance to see him perform live or meet the man, but I am a great fan of his and always will be.

3 stars James Taylor
James Taylor is my favorite singer and songwriter and he is the only one left out Cat Stevens and Jim Croce and Harry Chapin Cat Stevens quit his music career and Jim Croce died and Harry Chapin died too as for James Taylor he is contuning his music
