Al Stewart
This definitive, first-ever singles collection from singer-songwriter Al Stewart brings together the A- and B-side of every single during the period in which Stewart catapulted from folk clubs to the mainstream. Stewart bridged the gap between FM rock and AM pop on such classic tracks as "Year of the Cat," "Carol," "On the Border," "Time Passages," "Midnight Rocks," and "Song on the Radio." Every track on Songs on the Radio: The Complete U.S. Singles 1974-1981 is presented in its original U.S. single version. Every one of these A-sides is a unique single mix, version, or edit, and most are new to CD (and not even included on Stewart's massive The Admiralty Lights box set). Everything has been newly remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision. The deluxe 20-page booklet designed by John Sellards features Joe Marchese's extensive interview with Al Stewart as well as rare photos and memorabilia. As a special bonus, the unique RCA U.K. single edit of Al's signature song "Year of the Cat" is also included.
