Bob Marley and The Wailers — Catch A Fire Hybrid Stereo SACD release from Analogue Productions Mastered Direct To DSD by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original master tape Plays in all CD and SACD players Catch A Fire is the Wailers' fifth studio album and their major label debut for Island Records — becoming an international success after its release in 1973. The album has nine songs, two of which were written and composed by Peter Tosh; the remaining seven were by Bob Marley. While Bunny Wailer is not credited as a writer, the group's writing style was a collective process. Although Marley may have been the main voice, every member of the Wailers made valuable contributions and they were never more united in their vision and sound.Bob Marley And The Wailers – Burnin’ – Analogue Productions Hybrid Stereo SACD

Smith at Sterling Sound from the original master tape Plays in all CD and SACD players Burnin' is the Wailers' sixth album, released in October 1973. All three members of the band — Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer (the last time before Tosh and Bunny departed for solo careers and the band became known as Bob Marley & The Wailers) — wrote for, recorded and produced the album in Jamaica. Burnin' promoted the Wailers into international fame, led by the classic hits "I Shot The Sheriff" (a subsequent U.S. No. 1 for Eric Clapton) and the enduring anthem of people power, adopted by civil rights activists worldwide "Get Up, Stand Up."Bob Marley And The Wailers – Exodus – Analogue Productions Hybrid Stereo SACD

By the time Bob Marley died, he was one of the world's first global superstars, famous and lauded from Europe through Africa and the Americas. Some even saw him as not just a reggae singer but as a folk hero, a sort of freedom fighter, and to this day his enduring image feels greater than the music he made, writes Pitchfork. Exodus represented a subtle but significant shift for Marley; while he continued to speak out against political corruption and for freedom and equality for Third World people, his skill as a songwriter was as strong as ever, and Exodus boasted more than a few classics, "including the title song, 'Three Little Birds,' 'Waiting in Vain,' and 'Turn Your Lights Down Low,' tunes that defined Marley's gift for sounding laid-back and incisive at once," writes AllMusic. Exodus — now a landmark production on Analogue Productions Hybrid Stereo SACD!Bob Marley and The Wailers – Kaya – Analogue Productions SACD

Available to Pre-Order
Bob Marley & The Wailers — Rastaman Vibration Hybrid Stereo SACD release from Analogue Productions Mastered Direct To DSD by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original master tape Plays in all CD and SACD players When Rastaman Vibration was first released in America in 1976 it did what some in the music industry considered nearly impossible at the time. It took Bob Marley into the Top Ten alongside disco records and corporate rock, points out Rolling Stone, which rates the album 4 stars. Despite the good cheer of the title track and the upbeat "Roots, Rock, Reggae," Rastaman Vibration contains some of Marley's most intense images of oppression, paranoia and despair. Tracks such as "Who the Cap Fit," "Crazy Baldhead" and "War" are offered by the Wailers with dire urgency as Marley's brutal visions are echoed by his own church choir, the I-Threes. More than four decades later, neither Marley's music nor his message has lost its sting.Bruce Springsteen – Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. Mofi SACD
