Catch a Fire

I got stories, you guys.

So we heard Winston Jarrett doing Why Is It? Peter Tosh and the Wailers started the set with the earlier version of 400 Years, a song they recorded on, was it on Catch a Fire? I believe so.

They re-recorded on Catch a Fire.

We're going to move on.

We're going to stay in this crew for a minute.

Gregory Isaacs with One One Coco, a pantomime seven-inch.

The Wailers was in there with Stop That Train, going back to the Catch a Fire album.

A tough-gone record label.

Big Up The Man H checked in this week via email.

That's going to feel really good.

I was jamming along to Catch a Fire while I was kind of waiting for it to kick in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And that mindset eventually starts turning into resentment when...

The Wailers ultimately, a few years later, signed with Island Records and released the album Catch a Fire in 1973.

Because up to that point, we're skipping through a lot of history because this isn't really about the Wailers.

And like I said, we still got a few other albums to go.

Do you think it's a political thing more based around maybe Peter Tosh's worldview and the situation with where they're from, Jamaica being a kind of a colonial town? I mean, I imagine that would create tension if you had some strong feelings about politics.

Yeah.

Well, the other reality is that Bob Marley wrote seven of the nine songs on Catch a Fire and Peter Tosh wrote two.

Right.

This is your run on 10 to the Top.

Catch a Fire, Natty Dread and The Rastaman Vibration were all albums released during the 70s by which famous Jamaican reggae legend? Bob Marley.

Yes, it is Bob Marley.

Well done.

A few more.

Catch a Fire, Bob Marley.

And then bigger ones came later in 1973.
