The celebrated song was on the Wailers’ last album together, “Burnin’,” which itself marks its 50th anniversary this coming Thursday (19). The video follows the official release last month of the group’s performance of “Slave Driver” from the same concert. Also newly launched is a merchandise suite including an exclusive print by Arthur Gorson, who spent two weeks photographing Marley in Jamaica around the time of the album recording.
As reported, a 50th anniversary reissue edition of Catch A Fire, Marley and the Wailers’ first album for Island Records, will be released on November 3. It will be available in a 3 x Vinyl LP + 12” set and a 3 CD set, and across all digital platforms.
