LP - NEW/NEW - BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS, Catch A Fire (Island; 5360068, Europe 2015 Reissue), , It is nearly impossible to imagine a time when reggae was not part of the cultural currency. Though Bob Marley and the Wailers cannot be said to have invented the style, they certainly brought it to the world stage, and this album was the torch that lit the way. 'Catch A Fire 'hit with the force of a revelation when it was released in 1973, and though Chris Blackwell tailored its sound with a rock audience in mind, the album was still unlike anything that had ever come down the pike. 'Concrete Jungle', one of the towering standout tracks, addresses the trap of inner cities, while 'Slave Driver' and '400 Years' take on racial / historical issues. - 0216396C *** In Stock In Our Crouch End Shop ***
