Paul14 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Mine is a 2000 strictly acoustic. No pickup, but sounds wonderful. Edited August 9, 2020 by Paul14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Ok, no problem getting my SJ-200 to go there; just being the songwriter that has slowed my fame and fortune a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Something tells me he has a lot of 200s. Cat/Yusuf is seen with so many versions the recent years. Here at the other hand a rare glimpse of a blonde 68/69 Bird, , , . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , , , with new tuners. .

bobouz Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Oh my, hearing that voice quickly transports me back. Wore out his albums once upon a time - Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Based on the recommendation of some friends and what I heard on the radio I did buy several of Yusuf's LPs in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Sorry but it was just not happening for me. My favorite of the bunch was "Tea for the Tillerman" but that had more to do with Alun Davies' guitar playing than Yusuf's words or voice. I gather that Yusuf has re-recorded that LP using his original band and producer. That just might be worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is THAT!! 🙂 I assume you are goofing on me here, I do not think I can get through a month without putting Beggars Banquet or Highway 61 Revisited on the turntable. As I said, I gave Yusuf a shot. I guess I am just not a sensitive singer/songwriter kind of guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the Yusuf thing comes from when we still knew him as Cat Stevens. My wife and I met in Jr High, spent a lot of time driving to places (and well not driving sometimes...) listening to him on cassette or radio. as much nostalgic than anything.

MissouriPicker Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Never had one of his albums, but I’ve enjoyed a lot of this guy’s music. In particular, I find his voice very soothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 You got the wrong album ZWF. My favorites: Tuesday’s Dead & Peace Train from “Teaser and the Firecat”. Stones: Major influence in ‘64 & ‘65. Done with them by their fourth album, other than an occasional song now & then. Never listen to them anymore. Dylan: Being more blues oriented, Hwy 61 Revisited was the one that clicked for me, and then so many other gems up through the Modern Times album. Still have to get a fix of his stuff every now & then. Forget the voice, it’s all about the poetic phrasing, and the incredible musicians he continually surrounds himself with. Bottom line: We all like what we like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is one of the torrified SJ 200 Vintage models with Adi . He purchased this guitar in Nashville (The dealer made a Facebook post about the purchase at the time) .It debuted at the South African shows of 2017. https://catstevens.com/cats-attic-peace-train-tour-opening-night/ Sounds awesome JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
