Advantages: THIS IS A LIVE ALBUM
Disadvantages: Bob Marley isn't alive to sign it himself!

This is a truly great album, its as close as you can get to the real thing with a full 1 hour and 13 minutes of live Bob Marley and the Wailers. Listening to the album is an experience. This live version is extreamly good quality from the sound recording and the band also the fact its been remasterd makes it alot more crisp.. Many of Marleys live recordings have had poor sound quality and normaly wouldn't be able to be played as background music ...

Advantages: You will get paralized into a trance listening to Marley! His lyrics will flow through your mind while you chill in peace!
Disadvantages: The Only disadvantage is that there could be more songs, but thats me being picky!

...Marley and the Wailers - Catch A Fire! Bob Marley the Son of Reggae who has brought us such songs as "One Love", "Waiting in Vain" and "No Women No Cry", do you realy think he will release a bad album? I Don't! Catch a Fire is extreamly down to earth, this album compared to most Marley and the Wailers album realy makes you think. Bass has been used alot more so if you got a Sub get it boomin!

Advantages: Unaged and powerful poetry, beautiful music and production, memorable artwork
Disadvantages: Short

...the most successful and fertile, Forces Of Victory being the defining moment of that period. Though barely half an hour in length, each of the 8 tracks deliver a powerful message within some seriously high quality music. Though not a singer, his mesmerising monotone delivery commands your attention. And it's not just how he's saying things, it's what he's saying. The respected producer and bassist Dennis Bovell and band's music punctuates and draws ...
...here and now. Nearly-title track Forces Of Viktry is yet another liberation anthem featuring the line "den all a wi jus fahwod up to Not'n' Hill Gate" - notice the style which sounds just the same as it's spoken. Time Come drifts us out with a suitable warning that the higher the oppression the greater the aggression. The artwork for the album couldn't be more apt: a spotlighted radio mic with the initials LKJ within a deep black background...This ... Read review
