Buddha And The Chocolate Box CD review

Cat Stevens, 1975.

Amazingly, Cat was over and out by 1977...
The absolute gem on this album is Oh Very Young - a hymn to life and its transitory but beautiful nature...
But there are other goodies, melodically and rhythmically catchy and/or haunting.
Jesus is an interesting exercise in comparative theology (with an album title like this you need to be prepared for a bit of that), and King of Trees picks up from where Where Do The Children Play left off...
Artwork by the man himself...
Refreshing.
