First spin of @ThePakoBuelna’s pick for the N&G Nov ‘19 RoTM! Enjoyed it, some good solid songwriting and performances here. Also a beautifully pressed and mastered album and a really nice quality record and heavyweight sleeve considering it was a cheap buy! I’ll give a better indication of what I thought in the RoTM thread after a few more listens!
This was never my favorite album of theirs but this vinyl reissue sounds really good. A lot of the songs are standing out to me more than I remember as well.
I'm a sucker for cover records, especially those featuring little-known bands, and this is one of the best. Creative interpretations all the way around. Highly recommended and you can get it on the cheap.

Cat Stevens - Mona Bone Jakon
OG British pressing - Island - 1970
33 1/3 stereo VG+ vinyl condition
My second favorite of his albums (Tea for the Tillerman edges it out). The lyrics are showing his quiet and more introspective side. Plus it has “Trouble,” my favorite of his songs.
The vinyl is in VG+, and honestly considering how flimsy the covers are I’m surprised they are as decent as the are.
