Teaser and the Firecat, Cat Stevens' fifth studio album, came out on Island in October 1971, with Paul Samwell-Smith producing. Recorded between July 1970 and March 1971, its 10 songs are gentle, spare and warm, built around that soft, searching voice, and they include three of his best-loved tunes: "Morning Has Broken", "Moonshadow" and "Peace Train".
It went even further than Tea for the Tillerman, reaching the top three in both Britain and America and sitting at the top of the Australian charts for fifteen weeks. It was eventually certified triple platinum in the US. Stevens also wrote and illustrated a children's book under the same title, starring the characters from the sleeve.
