Cat Stevens - Buddha And The Chocolate Box (Remastered 2026) (1974/2026) [Official Digital Download]

Yusuf / Cat Stevens’ beloved 1974 album Buddha and the Chocolate Box has been newly remastered and is set for reissue on 4th September 2026.

“The message of Buddha and the Chocolate Box was very obvious: stuck in the middle between the material and spiritual worlds, I was still undecided and treading a rice-paper-thin line. The idea for the title came while sitting on an airport transit bus on my way to a plane. I was carrying my favourite little encased statuette of Buddha along with a box of chocolates. It struck me that what I had in my hands represented the perfect epitome of my wavering soul.” – Cat on the Road to Findout, Yusuf / Cat Stevens

Originally released on 19th March 1974, Buddha and the Chocolate Box marked the return of both producer Paul Samwell-Smith and guitarist Alun Davies, following their absence on the preceding album, Foreigner. Sonically, the record was a homecoming to the style of the Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat era — but with the arrangements and production reaching a new level of finesse and polish. Billboard welcomed it warmly at the time, writing that “Cat Stevens is back with the kind of material he does best” and praising the album’s “lush, full sound.”
