Synopsis
The past 25 years of Island Records are reviewed in a special featuring archival and recent footage of artists who have recorded with the label. One segment of note is an exclusive interview with former recording star Cat Stevens (now Moslem devotee Yusef Islam) at an Islamic community in England. Stevens, who had several hit albums in the early '70s, literally took a vow of silence ten years ago when he converted to Islam and has not spoken publicly since.
