- Dear reader, we have a new website! You can find it by clicking here: 1969 Inc. Thank you all for reading! -



In 1976, Al Stewart released his hit album 'Year of the Cat' and now, 45 years later, it is getting a 45th anniversary version! The album made a big enough splash that it is actually getting its own re-release! The namesake song on the album, 'Year of the Cat', was a major commercial and critical success and was the biggest hit of Al Stewart's career!

The new 45th anniversary edition is actually pretty impressive in terms of content. It comes with a 3 CD and 1 DVD box set that includes a new 5.1 Surround Sound mix that has never been heard before. It also includes a live concert at the Paramount theatre that was previously unreleased. So, the box set features quite a bit of remastered content as well as new content that has not been released previous to this new edition.

To add to all that content, the box set also comes with a 68 page book that contains an interview with Al Stewart that is all about the 'Year of the Cat' recording! The book has pictures of the time around when the album was made and pictures from the tour of the 'Year of the Cat' album. 

This song was a huge success for Al Stewart as it reached the #5 spot on the Billboard charts in the United States and reached high spots in other countries. To add to this, the song was critically acclaimed and loves by many fans all over the world. 

Al Stewart actually has tour dates planned in edition to this anniversary release! If you are interested in the tour dates and possibly going, you can find all the information about the tour and purchase the tickets on Al Stewart's website!

Porsche 914: The Fun Porsche

Introduction Today, I want to talk about a car that most people have probably seen once or twice but don't know all too much about. We are going to talk about the Porsche 914 and I am going to explain why I think this is one of the most fun Porsches. I should mention that by saying this is the fun Porsche, I am not saying that other Porsches are not fun, because that is completely untrue. I just think that most of the other models are a lot more serious than this one, which makes this one a lot more fun. So, let's start by talking a little bit about the car, and then I will talk about why I think this is the fun Porsche!

However, this was when Porsche was still heavily tied to Volk...

This recording features Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schm...
