Catch a Fire is the fifth studio studio album by the reggae band The Wailers, released in April 1973. It was their first album released by Island Records.[1] After touring and recording in the United Kingdom with Johnny Nash, Nash's departure to the United States left the band without enough money to return home; they approached producer Chris Blackwell, who agreed to advance the Wailers money for an album and paid their fares back to Jamaica, where they recorded Catch a Fire. The album features nine songs, two of which were written and composed by Peter Tosh and the remaining seven of which were written and composed by Bob Marley. After Marley's return to London to present the tapes to Blackwell, the producer reworked the tracks with contributions by Muscle Shoals session musician Wayne Perkins, who played guitar on two overdubbed tracks.


Cover art[edit]

The original 1973 vinyl release, designed by graphic artists Rod Dyer and Bob Weiner, was encased in a sleeve depicting a Zippo lighter.[13] The sleeve functioned like a real Zippo lighter case, opening at a side hinge to reveal the record within.[14] Only the original pressing of 20,000 had the Zippo cover,[15] subsequent pressings had an alternative cover designed by John Bonis featuring an Esther Andersonportrait of Marley smoking a "spliff" or joint, with the album now credited to "Bob Marley and the Wailers."[16][17] Copies of the record from the original pressings have since become collectors's items.[18] The original cover art was reproduced in 2001 for the deluxe compact disc edition.
