I also have "Catch a Fire" on Mobile Fidelity with pretty bad sonics (among the problems is way too much bass believe it or not).Legend and other US Marley releases have up to three CD versions:
The original plus two different remasters. In general, the first remasters were a little better than the original CDs, while the second (latest) remasters were loud bass compressed versions that were worse.
If you have the original version, there's no great reason to upgrade to the first remaster, and no reason at all to "downgrade" to the second remaster.The best sounding reggae recording I've ever heard is Midnite on the Wildchild label (Mapleshade Records) CD (see link) ... The songs tend to be long (5 to 7 minutes) hypnotic chants, and none equal to a Bob Marley "hit", but three or four of the songs have made it onto one of my DIY CDR reggae mixes, which is my greatest complement for a song.
