4 out of 5 stars (Most Of) The Best Of Cat.......2006-07-17

The main thing that strikes me about Cat Stevens (or Yusuf Islam as he calls himself now) is that, during his Cat Stevens phase from 1966 to 1978, he made really, really *nice* music. The melodies, the words, and of course, the man's distinctive voice and guitar-picking....just really good, spiritual, uplifting songs. He is an incredibly talented troubadour, and this 2-CD set,"Gold," collects a healthy dose of classic Cat Stevens music. Although, as other reviewers have pointed out, "Gold" is a bit incomplete, most of the big hit songs are here, such as "Matthew And Son," "Morning Has Broken," "Wild World," "Moonshadow," etc., but "Gold" also features tracks from Stevens' later albums that aren't as well known. These songs are just as wonderful as the hits, including "Angelsea," "Last Love Song," and the very impressive, 18-minute "Foreigner Suite." And, for the grand finale, "Gold" features the brand-new song, "Indian Ocean," which Stevens/Islam recorded for charity. It is a *beautiful* song, and worth the price of admission alone. There are several Cat Stevens compilations already on the market, but "Gold" is an excellent one, and a great introduction to the magical music of Cat Stevens.

4 out of 5 stars Cat Stevens and The Incomplete "Best Of" compilations.......2005-12-26

Cat Stevens is a wonderful person and a sublime songwriter. Neverthless, none of the several compilations released since 1975 onwards stand out as definitive or ultimate. Even the 4 CD-Box Set released a few years ago missed some essential tunes!.

Why on earth it seems to be impossible for the record companies releasing a brilliant retrospective?. It's not that hard at all!. Let's see:

Disc 1
1. Matthew & Son
2. I Love My Dog
3. First Cut Is The Deepest, The
4. Lady D'Arbanville
5. Katmandu
6. I Think I See The Light
7. Fill My Eyes
8. Where Do The Children Play?
9. Hard Headed Woman
10. Wild World
11. Sad Lisa
12. Into White
13. Father & Son
14. Don't Be Shy
15. If You Wanna Sing Out Sing Out
16. The Wind
17. Moonshadow
18. Morning Has Broken
19. Rubylove
20. Tuesday's Dead
21. How Can I Tell You

Disc 2
1. Peace Train
2. Sitting
3. Silent Sunlight
4. Ruins
5. Can't Keep It In
6. 18th Avenue
7. The Hurt
8. Foreigner Suite
9. Oh Very Young
10. King Of Trees
11. Another Saturday Night
12. Banapple Gas
13. Two Fine People
14. Old Schoolyard, (Remember The Days Of The)
15. To Be A Star, (I Never Wanted To Be)
16. Just Another Night

I really hope next time this will be the compilation.
Please just release it!!!!
