Album

Buddha and the Chocolate Box is the eighth studio album by Cat Stevens. The title came to Stevens when he was travelling to a gig on a plane with a Buddha in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other. He pondered that if he were to die in the plane these would be the last objects with him, and he would be caught between the spiritual and the material. The album leans towards the spiritual path, and is an indication of the direction his life would follow. All tracks composed by Cat Stevens. While Foreigner was Cat Stevens' fifth consecutive gold album and his fourth straight Top Ten hit, it actually marked a small drop commercially and encountered critical resistance for the lengthy suite that took up all of side one. Eight months later, Buddha and the Chocolate Box found Stevens back in England and back with producer Paul Samwell-Smith and second guitarist Alun Davies. It also marked a return to the simpler style of earlier albums. BUDDHA & THE CHOCOLATE BOX had the largest personnel line-up of any previous Cat Stevens effort and the layers applied to this album were impressive. In 1974 the variety of progressive rock experimentation in album-oriented sales was as diversified as it could get so the album buying public was quite fond of this album and the critics not nearly as harsh as they had been with FOREIGNER. BUDDHA & THE CHOCOLATE BOX fared better by easily climbing up the charts to 2 and selling platinum. Today's ears might find this album less easy to listen to than the four folk-rock albums, it mig.

After the stylistic and personnel changes of the previous album, Foreigner, Buddha and the Chocolate Box saw the return of both Paul Samwell-Smith as producer and Alun Davies on guitar. The album certainly feels like a return to the style of the Tillerman, Teaser era, however, the musical arrangements and production are notably slicker. The albums title was the result of a plane journey during which Cat found himself to be carrying a small Buddha statue in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other. The eighth studio album written and released by Cat Stevens Yusuf Islam, the title of this album came to him during an airplane flight.
