Editorial Review:
Description
The Classic Albums series presents the songs and stories behind some of rock's most enduring masterpieces. Catch a Fire, released in 1973, introduced reggae legends the Wailers, featuring Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, to an international rock audience. Here the principal figures tell the story of how this record was designed to "cross over." The DVD features a unique interview and performance by Bunny Wailer, rare archival interviews with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, and contributions from many of those who performed on the record. Featuring home movies of the Wailers in Jamaica, previously unseen footage, and unique performances of many album tracks such as "Stir It Up," "Stop That Train," and "Kinky Reggae," this is a documentary that will endlessly fascinate the viewer.

The remarkable story of Bat Out of Hell is told here by its leading contributors, including Meat Loaf himself, composer Jim Steinman, record producer Todd Rundgren, and backing vocalists Ellen Foley and Karla DeVito, together with others who helped in the construction of the album's "wall of sound." Featuring archival footage, interviews, and live performances, this is the compelling story of the making of one of rock music's finest hours.

Who's Next is viewed by many as the greatest testament to the songwriting talent of Pete Townshend and the musical power of the Who. The story of how the Who came to record the album is told by group members Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and John Entwistle, together with contributions by those who were close to the group during this recording, also providing insight into the importance of the late great Keith Moon to the success of the Who. The songs recorded for Who's Next are featured here, including such classics as "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Baba O'Riley," and "Behind Blue Eyes." Also included in this documentary are previously unseen performances of songs from the album that prove the longevity and lasting appeal of a true classic album.
