Burnin'

The Wailers · 1973

Burnin' appeared in October 1973, following Catch a Fire. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer all contributed to the writing before pursuing separate solo careers. Recorded in Jamaica with further work in London, it captures a group whose members still share the record's creative identity.

Catch a Fire

The Wailers · 1973

Catch a Fire introduced the Wailers to Island Records in 1973. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer worked with a Jamaican rhythm section before Marley brought the tapes to London. Chris Blackwell then oversaw further work, making the released album the product of more than one setting.
