What prompted Rick Astley to return after his "retirement"? (not that I'm complaining, glad he came back)

Tea for the Tillerman or Teaser and the Firecat?

Most regard these as Cat's best albums. Which do you prefer and why?

"All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside, it's hard, but it's harder to ignore it. If they were right I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me. Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away." - Father and Son

One of Cat's best if not his best song. Beautiful from start to finish.

Most Cat fans haven't heard many of the songs on this album, and this is without a doubt Cat's least popular studio album. But there are some great deep cuts to be found here, IMO, and it featured The First Cut is the Deepest.

What do you think about this album and what are your favorites and least favorites from it?

Just wanted to share this cool find with all of you. So I was reading the liner notes for New Masters and found mentions of three unreleased songs from the 1960s.

The liner notes mention 3 songs not featured on the album being recorded:

  • Sing!
  • My Motorbike
  • Younger Generation

According to the notes, these songs were wiped and never redone (doesn't say so for Younger Generation but we can assume the same).

Do you think that Yusuf himself or someone else still has a recording of any of these (or at least the lyrics)? What are your thoughts?

You can read the liner notes for yourself on Discogs. These are from the 1989 CD.
