This is the Jamaican pressing, right?
No, I don’t believe so at least. I think this is just a variant that will be pressed at Tuff Gong’s new facility. I think they are repressing the island catalog there along with the new Half Speed masters. I can’t even find the listing for the half speed Jamaican vinyl version of Catch a Fire. I think the biggest indicator that it is the Jamaican version will be that the track listing is different. The Jamaican version has Stir it Up as the second song (A2) instead of the first song on side B.

According to the description and the title this is the new Jamaica Pressing at Tuff Gong - they just got the track list wrong.

Agreed. The first sentence describes the release of all 12 pressed at Tuff Gong. And then:
Additionally, Catch A Fire, originally recorded by The Wailers in Jamaica and eventually released with overdubs and a mix overseen by Island founder Chris Blackwell at the label’s London headquarters, will be available in its original Jamaica-recorded version, with two extra tracks from the sessions and some tracks with longer fades. Produced entirely by Bob Marley & the Wailers and mixed by longtime Marley associate Errol Brown, this Jamaican version will be on vinyl for the first time.
 
I haven't blind bought something this quick in a while. A double LP from Binker Moses recorded live at London's Total Refreshment Centre in June 2017, at the launch of their 'Journey to the Mountain of Forever' album. This is going to be fire!


Thanks, I loved Alive in the East? Surprised that shipping is reasonable.
