Description

Fantastic Collector's Item. Beautiful condition Hinge not attached.
CATCH A FIRE 
The Wailers 
Island, 1973 
Designers: Rod Dyer and Bob Weiner
One of the first 20,000 copies issued of Catch a Fire

Label head Chris Blackwell had commissioned designers Rod Dyer and Bob Weiner to strike up something special for this LP. Dyer and Weiner conceived of a cover modeled after a Zippo cigarette lighter, which has a hinged top. "The top half," says Clark, "was riveted to the bottom half, which was a receptacle for the record and its inner bag, so the thing literally opened as a Zippo lighter would."

A clever idea, but not a practical one, as it turned out. "The problem was getting the top half to fit the bottom," says Clark. "Each copy had to be hand-assembled." Since this was hardly cost-effective, a more standard design was substituted after the first shipment -- with a shot of Marley catching his own sort of fire.

Rare collector's item!  Please email for more photos or information.  Album is in beautiful condition.  I have been in possession since 1996 when purchased from a collector.
