Not long after, he would renounce his successful career and dedicate his life to charitable works and the study of Islam. Following the odd, self-produced \"Pythagorean Theory Tale\" that was his Numbers album, Stevens veered back toward the pop mainstream here, allowing producer David Kershenbaum to once again burnish his songs to familiar pop accessibility, utilizing everything from then-contemporary synthesizer sounds to the veteran Muscle Shoals rhythm section. But if tracks like the jaunty hit \"Old Shoolyard\" returned Stevens to familiar hit-machine territory, there was also a growing sense of worldly unease beneath the pop sheen, from the lovely, airy fatalism of \"Life\" to the career-crisis confessional \"(I Never Wanted) To Be a Star.\" This would be Stevens's last gold record, and a surprisingly strong one from an artist on the verge of dropping out of show business for decades. --Jerry McCulley\n\nProduct Description\n\nThe third phase of the Cat Stevens' classic A\u0026amp;M albums features newly remastered \u0026amp; newly repackaged Stevens titles available for the first time on CD.
