Cat Stevens In A Weird-Disco-Record Shocker Alert!!

By the late seventies, Cat Stevens managed to annoy the majority of his fanbase by going through a crazy ‘electronic/disco’ phase.  As most established stars experimented with the ‘new disco craze’ (Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Kiss, etc etc), today’s SOTD is Cat Stevens’ wonderful and weird attempt.

Originally from the album ‘Izitso’, this is the rare 1977 special disco version released on A & M. With futuristic electronics and a truly exuberant bassline, it inspired everyone from Afrika Bambaataa to New Order and a whole host of legendary New York DJs (this was a huge favourite at Jellybean Benitez’s Funhouse back in the early eighties). Not to be confused with his 1966 hit ‘I Walk My Dog’, this is the finest track ever to have a dog bark as its intro. If that doesn’t entice you to have a listen I don’t know what will.
