Sample text
13 Prior to this album, true reggae music had always been released on 45-rpm singles, but Blackwell wanted the Wailers to make the first reggae album. Recording sessions for the album took place at Dynamic Sound, Harry J’s, and Randy’s, on the North Parade. The product was a mixture of songs of alienation, rebellion, and love that had previously been released in Jamaica, in addition to several new songs. ” Bob said of the album, “Catch a Fire was an introduction. Nobody know who Bob Marley and the Wailers were, at the same time maybe you have other group who people were more interested in at the time.
Duppy Conqueror” and “Who’s Mr. Brown” were both released as 45-rpm singles with their dubs on the B-sides. Dubbing referred to the Jamaican practice of releasing a single with the same song on the B-side with the vocals “dubbed” out so that local deejays could talk, boast, and toast (supply their own words) over the rhythm tracks at the local sound-system dances. Again, the Wailers’ attempt at an independent-label release failed, and Tuff Gong disappeared as quickly as had its predecessor, Wail’n’Soul.
The first vinyl release of Catch a Fire was fashioned in the form of a large stainless steel Zippo lighter with the album titled engraved on it. Instead of sliding the record out of the right side of the jacket (the usual way of exposing a vinyl LP), the lighter case hinged on the left side to expose the record. Inside the lighter case was a cardboard cutout of the internal workings of the lighter. Included inside were the standard windproof mechanism, the striker wheel, and a flaming wick. In retrospect, these flames seemed to signify how this album would catch on around the world and rocket the Wailers to international fame.
