1978's Time Passages concluded British singer-songwriter Al Stewart's trilogy of albums with producer-engineer Alan Parsons which began with 1975's Modern Times and continued with the following year's Year of the Cat.  During this purple patch, Stewart earned his first hit singles in the United States, transitioning from folk troubadour at home to bona fide pop star abroad.  And while Year of the Cat, the album, charted higher than Time Passages, the latter's title track was a bigger hit in the U.S. and Canada.  Now, Time Passages has received the same expanded and remastered treatment from Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings arm as Year of the Cat did earlier this year.  A 3-CD/DVD Super Deluxe edition is available now alongside a 2-CD Deluxe highlights version.
