Produktbeschreibung

Catch a Fire gehört zu den besten Debütalben der Rockgeschichte. Die Wailers hatten natürlich -- zunächst als Gesangstrio und später dann als Band -- bereits seit Jahren herausragende low-budget Aufnahmen auf Jamaika gemacht. Der internationale Erfolg stellte sich allerdings erst ein, nachdem sie von Chris Blackwells Plattenfirma Island im Jahre 1973 unter Vertrag genommen worden waren. Ihm ist nicht nur zu verdanken, daß endlich die Kassen klingelten, sondern auch, daß der Reggae im internationalen Musikgeschäft Fuß fassen konnte. Bob Marleys "Stir It Up" war bereits im Jahr zuvor in einer Cover-Version von Johnny Nash zu einem der erfolgreichsten Pop-Hits in Amerika und Europa avanciert. Dadurch wurde dem Reggae zwar prinzipiell der Weg bereitet, nichts hatte die Welt jedoch auf Songs wie "Concrete Jungle" oder "Slave Driver" vorbereitet, die Marleys fast schon mystische politische Kampfbereitschaft ans Licht brachten. Die Magie, die bereits damals von Bob Marley ausging, ist unumstritten. Peter Toshs Songs "Stop That Train" und "400 Years" veranschaulichen allerdings auch, warum Tosh und Marley gemeinsam ein unschlagbares Reggae-Team bildeten. --Bill Holdship

Gemeinsam mit den Alben Burnin'und Natty Dread ließ Catch A Fire den Reggae-Funken global überspringen: Rastaman Marley wurde zum ersten (und einzigen) Superstar aus der Dritten Welt, und die "Reggae riddims" zu einem Rockthema, das fortan für alle Größen zum guten Ton gehörte.

Review by Vik Iyengar
Catch a Fire was the major label debut for Bob Marley and the Wailers, and it was an international success upon its release in 1973. Although Bob Marley may have been the main voice, every member of the Wailers made valuable contributions and they were never more united in their vision and sound. All the songs were originals, and the instrumentation was minimalistic in order to bring out the passionate, often politically charged lyrics. Much of the appeal of the album lies in its sincerity and sense of purpose — these are streetwise yet disarmingly idealistic young men who look around themselves and believe they might help change the world through music. Marley sings about the current state of urban poverty ("Concrete Jungle") and connects the present to past injustices ("Slave Driver"), but he is a not a one-trick pony. He is a versatile songwriter who also excels at singing love songs such as his classic "Stir It Up." Peter Tosh sings the lead vocal on two of his own compositions — his powerful presence and immense talent hint that he would eventually leave for his own successful solo career. More than anything else, however, this marks the emergence of Bob Marley and the international debut of reggae music. Marley would continue to achieve great critical and commercial success during the 1970s, but Catch a Fire is one of the finest reggae albums ever. This album is essential for any music collection.
