Last week Annie, my wife, managed to catch the tail end of a Cat Stevens song she'd never heard before and texted me about it. I was leading a wildlife group around Scotland and Annie was without a computer in Cornwall so we had no way of tracking down what she'd heard. So I phoned George (Daddy-o) and, bless him, he tracked it down. It's a song called 'Twinkie' which Cat wrote in 1968 for the follow up to the film 'If' which never was released.
The only surviving copy was an acetate owned by Mike Hurst and he has just released it on a compilation album called 'Mike Hurst Producers Archives Volume 3 1964-1979'. It's a lively song - I've only heard it once but it's immediately our Cat and has a great tune. I loved Cat Stevens songs since I Love My Dog so it's great to have another song from his era! I think it's great that he's now performing from his very first catalogue once again, like Blackness of the Night and Portobello Road!
Anyway, here's the link if you want to get a copy. I'm sure it'll be a limited pressing run, so for those interested in a complete Cat Stevens catalogue you'll need to get this! At time of writing it's the bottom right picture on the cd sleeves selection on this first page. Go to cd order page and off you go!

Good luck and Enjoy,
