Catch a Fire is the first major album from The Wailers who are a reggae band from Jamaica. It was released on the 13th of April 1973, through Island Records. It was this album that got the band well known, and Bob Marley as famous as he is now adays who was their lead singer. They are most reknowned for their confrontational views.
It reached number 171 in the UK and in America, in the 'Pop Albums and Black Album Charts' it reached number 51. It is featured in 'Rolling Stones' list of the 500 greatest albums of all time as number 123.
The band is made up of, Bob Marley (guitar + vocals), Peter Tosh (organ, piano, guitar + vocals), Bunny Wailer (bongos, congas + vocals), Aston Barrett (bass), John Bundrick (Keyboards + Synthesizer) and Wayne Perkins (guitar).
Some of the people that worked on the album were, Chris Blackwell and Bob Marley (production), Carlton Lee and Tony Platt (Engineering) and Bob Weiner and Rod Dyer (design). Once the album had been completed, the multitrack tapes of the album, was remixed in the UK, with some of the guitar tracks being re done and some more piano and synthesizers being added.
The genre of this album is just simply reggae style.
The reason why i chose this album is because it has a chilled feel to it and is well mixed and mastered and it compliments the classic reggae style.
