New Masters

New Masters is the second studio album by British singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, released on 15 December 1967 by Deram Records. Stevens established himself as a successful pop star by the summer of 1967, with top-ten singles such as "Matthew and Son" (1966) and his debut album Matthew & Son (1967).

Upon initial release, New Masters received primarily positive reviews in the UK press. In Disc and Music Echo, journalist Penny Valentine found that Cat Stevens' musical abilities came "off far better on an LP" than on singles, and considered the album to be better than his previous one. Writing for Record Mirror, journalists Peter Jones noted the album to have a "folky feel" which was a trademark for his music, and praised the song arrangements, believing the album to be "well recorded".
