Testimonials from audiophile at the Steve Hoffman Music forums:

Is it worth searching for the MFSL LP version of Bob Marley's Catch a Fire?

The best is easily the MFSL version.

..I absolutely love it. It sounds and feels like reggae, and not like an audiophile extravaganza.

It is damn good! Fat bottom end just like nature intended, grooves like hell.

..they're terrific. Yes, the bass really throbs nicely.

From what I hear the bass on the MOFIs is most like what Bob Marleys original Jamaican releases sounded like.

Best version of this album - to my ears - is actually the MFSL vinyl pressing. Great bass.

From Wikipedia review of 'Catch A Fire':

Reception:

Critics have called Catch a Fire one of the greatest reggae albums of all time. Vik Iyengar from Allmusic comments that "..Catch a Fire is one of the finest reggae albums ever. This album is essential for any music collection". Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 123 on its list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, the second highest placement for a reggae album; only Legend, ranked higher at number 46. Writing in The Spectator arts blog in 2012, Dave Rodigan described it as "quite simply, one of the greatest reggae albums ever made".
