Peace Train and Wild World, that's my childhood listening right there. My dad didn't have a large album collection but thankfully Cat Stevens was in there.

Ruby Love reminds me of "The Durrells" theme tune 😄

Great 70s tracks. I'd never heard of Cat Stevens. But he's got so much British rock and roll in his style, like the Beatles sorta sound.

Wild world is one I've heard before but didn't realise who it was.

That greek fusion was really odd at first, purely cos they're not sounds I'd expect to be meshed together but it fits so nicely and adds a really fun element to the song.

Keeping me busy with all these today 👊

Cat Stevens is one of the greatest. Have fun going down that hole...

Wild World was covered, quite famously, by Mr Big. They did a good version of it!

Interesting that Cat said it was actually about himself. I didn't know that.

Now you say Mr Big I immediately hear it. I was listening to Mr Bigs Undertow the other day but when I heard wild world it sent my brain to Mr Big so perhaps that's where I picked it up from.

Listening to Mr Big Wild World now, and yeah I think this is the version I've heard on the radio before.
