Cat Stevens Poster

[bigwork13]

Just wondering if anyone has seen this poster before, or has this poster. I was looking on the internet a lot and could not find it. It currently is above my fireplace in my living room.

I saw a Japanese "Teaser & the Firecat" album on Ebay that had a poster included that looked like your poster. Only difference is that yours looks like a drawing, and the other a photo. Interesting, huh?

Unusual pose to choose for a drawing. It doesn't look as if he drew it. I'd prefer a photo with a cool basckdrop or a self-portrait. I should draw him sometime but my eyes would write me out of their collective will. I have a nasty eye problem.

I've got one, too. It came with the limited edition (2500 copies) pressing of the Harold and Maude soundtrack released by Cameron Crowe's Vinyl Films Records back in January of 2008. the artist is Alex Hillkurtz.

I have one. One place it comes with is the CB@4 songbook.

Viv, the photo posted by bigwork13 is of the poster made from a sketch done in 2007 by Alex Hillkurtz for the 2008 official release of the Harold and Maude soundtrack. I'm guessing what you're referring to is the lovely collage-style poster pictured here on majicat (first image on the "Posters" page):

Of course, the 1972 Japanese bootleg of the H&M soundtrack had that lovely image on the cover, too:



And it showed up again on the cover of the Box Set:

P.S.-

Unless I miss my guess, that photo is likely from the same photo shoot as the Japanese picture sleeves for both Lady D'Arbanville and Peace Train, both of which are right here on majicat:

There are a couple of other images which I'm fairly certain would be from the same shoot:

From the Anthology songbook, lower left image:


Same songbook, lower left again:


Ditto:


Bottom center this time:


And of course this stunner:


All those images are right here on good ol' majicat!

They (and possibly some others, too - I'd have to peek) all showed up in some other, earlier songbooks. I've got them posted on my own site but it seems to be down. Sorry!

Hi Joanne,

Your fine efforts are one more example of the wonderful quality of 'detective work' that we of Majicat are treated to and benefit from.

Additionally, I believe that: "By George, you've got it!" (meaning that you have hit the bullseye in each and every case). ;D

Thank you for such terrific sleuthing!

On a related note, a nice story:

A picture of the poster from the Harold and Maude release that Joanne referred to appears in the first photo of the slideshow series at this link:

The last 2 photos in the slideshow appear to be handwritten lyrics. cool.
