Thursday music corner: Scottish singer-songwriter Al Stewart was born in Renfrewshire in 1945, and issued his first album, Bed-Sitter Images, in 1967. He has released 16 studio albums plus four live albums, and remains best-known today for his 1976 hit single The Year of the Cat, and the album of the same name, which reached number five in the US album charts and number 10 in Australia.
The wistful baroque pop of Swiss Cottage Manoeuvres was the second track on Stewart's debut album, released when he was 22. It was the b-side to the title track, which was the album's only single.Al Stewart - Swiss Cottage Manoeuvres (1967)
