Back to Earth (Limited Lenticular Cover)

Dark Horse Records is proud to reissue the album Back to Earth by Yusuf/Cat Stevens with a limited-edition lenticular cover. 

Originally released in 1978, Back to Earth would become Yusuf’s last album for almost 30 years.  The album saw the return of Alun Davies on guitar, Gerry Conway on drums, and producer Paul Samwell-Smith, all of whom had been absent from the previous album, Izitso. During the recording, it was implicitly understood that Yusuf was about to step away from the music industry, which lent a somber mood to the sessions. The album’s lyrics make a number of references to Yusuf’s dissatisfaction with the industry; however, there are also some small hints of the return that would keep fans waiting for nearly three decades.
