Description
BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS Catch A Fire LP from 1973 on the Island Records label (ILPS 9241)
this is the first UK pressing with the Basing St address printed underneath the i logo on the back cover.
it has ILPS 9241 A-3U / B-4U in the dead wax.
record has been cleaned on an Okki Nokki.
both sides have hairlines and various fine surface marks.
no heavy scratches or scuffs but it's obviously had some plays.
Side A:
there's some faint surface noise between tracks but no skips or jumps.
i've made a short video of the first two tracks on Side A.
you can watch it here:

Side B:
again, there's some low surface noise between tracks but no skips or jumps.
Side A plays a bit better than Side B but there's not very much in it.
i've also made a video of the first two tracks playing.

these two videos should give you an overview of the general condition.
i would say that the record plays between Good Plus and Very Good.
it's not perfect but it's still a decent listen overall.
the sleeve has shelf wear and various rub marks. there's also a faint crease at bottom right.
the Zippo is fully intact though. most copies are usually in two pieces after 50+ years.
i would grade the sleeve as Good.
the Island company sleeve is in good shape. it's got some light handling wear at the opening but no rips or tears.
graded as Very Good.
i will be adding a few more classic Reggae albums soon so please add me to your faves...
