Back in July 1973, Bob Marley & The Wailers were about to embark on their first international tour to promote their latest album 'Catch A Fire.' Released in April 1973, it had broken into the UK and USA charts and caught the attention of influential music critics everywhere. Reggae music was on the verge of being a global phenomenon and The Wailers had secured a vantage point in its delivery through Island Records' boss Chris Blackwell. Before the supporting roles with Bruce Springsteen and Sly & The Family Stone, the band was booked into Boston's premier jazz venue Paul's Mall, for a week-long residency. There can be little doubt that this is an ultimately precious document of an iconic band in their prime and with the inclusion of Tosh and Wailer before their departure, it makes this particular broadcast all the more prestigious.SIDE 1:1.

about to embark on their first international tour to promote their latest album, Catch
a Fire. Released in April 1973, it had broken into the UK and USA charts and
caught the attention of influential music critics everywhere. Reggae music was on
the verge of becoming a global phenomenon and The Wailers had secured a
prominent role in its delivery through Island Records founder Chris Blackwell.
Before supporting roles with Bruce Springsteen and Sly and the Family
Stone, the band was booked at Boston's premier jazz venue, Paul's Mall, for a
week-long residency. There can be little doubt that this is a truly precious document
of an iconic band in their prime, and with the inclusion of Peter Tosh and
Bunny Wailer before their departure, it makes this particular broadcast all the
more essential. Klondike proudly presents the entire original WBCN-FM broadcast
of Bob Marley and The Wailers live at Paul's Mall in Boston, Massachusetts on July
