Catch a Fire
''Catch a Fire'', released on 13 April 1973, is the fifth album by Jamaican reggae band The Wailers, and the first the band released on Island Records. 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 by Peter Tosh and the rest 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.
The album's supporting concert tour throughout England and the United States helped establish the band as international stars. ''Catch a Fire'' peaked at number 171 and number 51 on ''Billboard''s 200 and Black Albums charts, respectively. The album has received critical acclaim, including being listed at number 126 on ''Rolling Stone''s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, the second highest placement of the five Bob Marley albums on the list, after the posthumous compilation album ''Legend''. It is also regarded as one of the top reggae albums of all time.
==Background==
Businessman Danny Sims made a deal with Johnny Nash to star in and score the film ''Want So Much To Believe'' in Sweden and Nash invited Marley to work with him on composing songs for the soundtrack. Marley moved to Sweden to work on the film, and then from November to December 1971 toured Great Britain with Nash and the Wailers, with CBS also releasing a single by the Wailers (the Nash-produced "Reggae on Broadway"). After the tour, Sims and Nash had left the city for Miami, Florida, and CBS lost interest in the group, leaving the band without enough money to return to Jamaica and unable to work due to work permit issues. The band asked promoter Brent Clarke in the hope that he would help them. Clarke contacted Chris Blackwell from Island Records, who had released many Wailers singles in Great Britain. He then promised Clarke an advance of 8000 for their next album, and Clarke lent the Wailers some money for their way back to Jamaica.
