1970年代以降の音楽シーンに多大な影響を与えることになったBOB MARLEY&THE WAILERS。アルバム(CATCH A FIRE)は、WAILERSにとって初の世界的ヒット作となったばかりでなく、それまでジャマイカのローカル音楽であったレゲエを世界に紹介した、音楽史に残る名盤。BOB MARLEYが仕切ってジャマイカで録音された8トラックを、ロンドンでCHRIS BLACKWELL[ISLANDの創始者]が聴き、音楽的に足りない要素/もっと広い層に知ってもらうため、オルガン/エレピ/ギター(WAYNE PARKINS=STONESのBLACK&BLUEのスライド・ギターが有名)をダビングしたが[革命のためのメッセージは広く伝わらねばならない]と言うBOB MARLEYの意思は変わらない名盤/傑作、ISLANDを代表する１枚！百戦錬磨のセッションミュージシャンですら、レゲエのノリが分からないために、レコーディングの際に苦労したと言われている。
