Catch A Fire

July 7th, 2008 in Die-cut, Flaming, Roots Rock Reggae, Smoking Section by lpcoverlover | 6 Comments

Bob Marley “Catch A Fire”   Island Records.   1973.   This is the record that made Bob Marley an international star.   His first on a major label.   With Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer and Aston and Carlton Barrett on bass and drums. Produced by Chris Blackwell.   The album including the classics “Stir It Up”, “Concrete Jungle” and “Kinky Reggae” is 125 on Rolling Stone magazine’s top 500 list (the highest of Marley’s four Lps to make the list).   The first 20,000 copies released were encased in this Zippo lighter die-cut sleeve.   The sleeve opened like a lighter case with a side hinge.   Rob Weiner and Rod Dyer designed.

   What’s next, “Big Bamboo”? With all due respect to the coverlovers that you are, this one is the antithesis of the usual fine art on this site. Now back to work on my own site, “die-cut hater”. Love, Otis

   I’ve seen illustrations of this but have never actually seen the album. The version I have is a close up of Bob Marley hitting up on a big spliff.
