The Wailers, featuring the legendary Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, became the most influential band in the history of Reggae music. Catch A Fire their first Island album, released in 1973, introduced them to an international rock audience. Here the principal figures in the creation of Catch A Fire tells the story of how this record was designed to "cross-over". The video features a unique interview and performance with Bunny Wailer, rare archive interviews with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, and contributes in words and music - from many of those who performed on the record, like bass players Family Man Barrett, Robbie Shakespeare and Bob's wife Rita Marley. This video shows how the raw B-track tapes were recorded in Jamaica and then overdubbed in London's Basing Street Studios, supervised by Island Records' boss, Chris Blackwell. With the Wailers' enthusiastic consent, Blackwell brought in white American session players like keyboard player John "Rabbit" Bundrick and guitarist Wayne Perkins to sweeten the sound with overdubs for an international rock audience. Featuring rare home movies of the Wailers in Jamaica, previously unseen footage, and a unique performances of many album tracks such as Stir It Up, Stop That Train and Kinky Reggae, this is a documentary that will endlessly fascinate the viewer and is both a genuine tribute to great supergroup and an insight into a true Reggae Classic Album.
