BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS: "CATCH A FIRE" (1973 - UK First Issue, with Zippo Cover): 12" Vinyl LP - in immaculate condition


This copy of "Catch a Fire" is a lightly-used and owned-from-new 1973 UK first issue of Island Records LP ILPS 9241. 


The disc has corrected matrix number stampings, with ILPS 9241A-3U & ILPS 9241B-4U replacing BML 2001A-3U & BML 2001B-4U, respectively; these numbers indicate a first UK pressing. There are also STERLING stampings. The disc surfaces retain their original gloss, and the sound continues to be vivid.


The label has the pink-rimmed Island Palm Tree: the label surfaces are bright and have no markings. 


The cover is the superb die-cut, shaped and hinged Zippo Lighter version. This is in excellent condition, having been stored from purchase (like the other vinyl records in my collection) in an outer plastic sleeve. The cover is unmarked, uncreased and unfaded, and retains its original vivid colour - and it has only a few instances of superficial chafing at the edges; please see the photos. The metal hinge is sound and bright, is firmly in place and is in full working order. 


The inner sleeve is the pale blue Island Records lined sleeve with patent number and is unmarked and in very good order.


Please tell me if you would like to see any additional photos.
