Wailers

The Wailers 'Catch A Fire' album was and still is a milestone for reggae music. For years a debate as gone on about an alternative release of the album from Jamaica in late 73 or early 74. This contained the same 9 tracks as the UK release but without the overdubs. To me it was a matter of fact - a very rare album for sure, but one that came out. Now on these years later - Island and Tuff Gong have done the right thing and have released the UK release and 'Unreleased Set' in one great package. To make it even more special they have included two tracks tat could have been released on the original but never - the superb ballad 'High Tide, LowTide' and 'All Day All Night'. Reggae music at its finest.
