Original U.S. pressing of Mona Bone Jakon by Cat Stevens, released in 1970 on A&M Records (SP-4260).
This album marked Stevens’ artistic rebirth after his early pop career, introducing a more introspective folk-rock sound that paved the way for Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat.
Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith (formerly of The Yardbirds), the album features enduring tracks like “Lady D’Arbanville” and “Trouble.”
Issued on A&M’s tan label with trumpet logo, typical of early 1970s pressings.
