[[caption-width-right:350:The two album covers.]]
''"Catch A Fire"'' is a 1973 album by [[Music/BobMarley Bob Marley And The Wailers]]. It was the first album released by Chris Blackwell's Island Records and thus the first time a Jamaican reggae band was given ideal technical facilities to record their songs in excellent sound quality.
Together with the soundtrack of ''Film/TheHarderTheyCome'' ''"Catch A Fire"'' is notable for bringing {{reggae}} to worldwide attention outside the Carribean. There had been succesful Jamaican music artists before in the 1950s and 1960s, but apart from Music/HarryBelafonte and Music/JimmyCliff they were always one-hit wonders that didn't chart that high in Western countries. ''"Stir It Up"'' was Marley's first hit song in Western charts. However, it would take until ''"No Woman No Cry"'' in the version of the LiveAlbum ''"Live" (1975)'' before Marley and reggae really broke through internationally.
''"Catch A Fire"'' is considered to be one of the finest reggae albums in existence. In 2001 a special collection edition was released with the unreleased, non-overdubbed Jamaican songs on the first side and the original, overdubbed album on the second side.
