About
Catch a Fire is the major-label-debut album for Jamaican reggae band The Wailer, released on Island Records in 1973. The album established the band as international superstar. Leader Bob Marley in particular became world-famou. The socially aware lyrics and militant tone surprised many listener, but others were attracted to songwriters Marley and Peter Tosh's confrontational subjects and optimistic view of a future free from oppression. Catch a Fire peaked at #171 and #51 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums and Black Albums charts respectively. It is number 123 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, the second highest placement of the four Bob Marley albums on the list. On completion, the master tapes were taken to the UK for remixing, and Chris Blackwell enlisted the help of two US musicians - making an "English" version of the album. Wayne Perkins re-did some of the rhythm/ lead guitar, whilst John "Rabbit" Bundrick added some organ, electric piano, clavinet and synthesizer. .
