Catch a Fire is a 1973 album by Bob Marley And The Wailers. It was the first of their albums to be released by Chris Blackwell's Island Records and thus the first time a Jamaican reggae band was given ideal technical facilities to record their songs in excellent sound quality.Together with the soundtrack of The Harder They Come, Catch a Fire is notable for bringing reggae to worldwide attention outside the Carribean. There had been succesful Jamaican music artists before in the 1950s and 1960s, but apart from Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Cliff they were always one-hit wonders that didn't chart that high in Western countries. "Stir It Up" was Marley's first hit song in Western charts. However, it would take until "No Woman No Cry" in the version of the Live Album Live! before Marley and reggae really broke through internationally.Catch a Fire is considered to be one of the finest reggae albums in existence. In 2001 a Deluxe Edition was released with the unreleased, non-overdubbed Jamaican songs on the first disc and the original, overdubbed album on the second disc. Despite what many fans think, Marley always intended the songs to be overdubbed, but it provides an interesting alternative.A documentary about the creative process behind the making of this album can be seen in the Classic Albums TV documentary series. The record was also listed at nr. #126 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time | |

Ambiguous Gender: Women and men in "Midnight Ravers", the premise being that even the ghetto women lack the caring instincts that would ordinarily separate them from the rude boys. | |

Distinct Double Album | |
| Catch a Fire (Music) / int_b134a27d | comment |
Distinct Double Album: The 2001 Deluxe Edition is interesting because it has both the original mixes recorded in Jamaica before the overdubs were added, as well as the released album with overdubs. The set list on both is mostly the same, save for the order of the songs, occasional alt vocal takes or editing, and the inclusion of "High Tide Or Low Tide" and "All Day All Night" on the unoverdubbed version. Contrary to what people think, Marley's intention was always to have the overdubs on the album, it was just that Island Records hired outside session musicians rather thna the Wailers themselves doing it. | |

Shout-Out: "Concrete Jungle" is referenced in "The Beast" from The Score (1996) by The Fugees "Forgive Them Father" from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998) by Lauryn Hill samples "Concrete Jungle". The 2006 film "Catch A Fire", set in South Africa during The Apartheid Era, lends its title from this album. | |
