Released for the very first time as part of the super deluxe reissue of Yusuf/Cat Stevens 1978 recordBack To Earth; two previously unheard tracksrecorded during the original sessions, “Butterfly”and “Toy Heart.”YUSUF chose to discount the tracks from the finalcut of the record because he considered them tolyrically have too much of a “pop single flavor.” “When I recorded” Yusuf explains, “there would always be one or two songs left over which somehow didn’t fit the mood of the album I wanted to build. Though the songs were good, they were parked on the side.” Both tracks are now released as a very specialdouble A side 7” single. With artwork contribution by Yusuf himself. “Butterfly” is a soaring, groove-based stylisticshift into Philly soul, replete with swooning strings.“Toy Heart,” meanwhile, is a propulsive rocker thatin its writer’s mind was “like a song for Elvis.”
