dct:abstract

%22Stir It Up%22 is a song composed by Bob Marley in 1967, written for his wife Rita, and first made popular by Johnny Nash. Nash's recording hit the top 15 in both Britain and America in 1973.When Marley returned to Jamaica from the United States in 1967, The Wailers started their own label, Wail'n Soul'm records, and released their first independent single, %22Freedom Time%22, backed with %22Bend Down Low%22. %22Nice Time%22, %22Hypocrites%22, %22Mellow Mood%22, %22Thank You Lord%22, and %22Stir It Up%22 were all recorded in the same year.The label folded shortly after and Marley began writing for American singer Johnny Nash. On Nash's I Can See Clearly Now album, he used members of The Wailers and recorded several Marley songs: %22Stir It Up,%22 the follow-up single, %22Comma Comma%22, %22Guava jelly%22, and the Nash / Marley co-written ballad, %22You Poured Sugar on Me%22. The track %22(It Was) So Nice While It Lasted%22 received radio play.The Wailers performed the song on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1973 during their first trip to the UK.%22Stir It Up%22 was Marley's first successful song outside Jamaica. Another song written by Bob Marley, %22I Shot The Sheriff%22, was made a hit by Eric Clapton on the album 461 Ocean Boulevard, July 1974. Marley's first %22own%22 international hit, %22No Woman No Cry%22, was released on the Bob Marley and the Wailers album Live!, December 1975.The Nash vinyl, 45 version of the song has appeared in CD format only once - TimeLife's Sound of the Seventies: 1973 Take Two CD. It includes several audio tracks that are not on the album version (e.g. the prominent vibraslap percussion), and some recorded at different levels, brass and strings in particular, which give the song a more recognizable sound, as it was this version that received radio play during the time the song was a hit, and not the album version. This was the version to receive radio play until the CD version was released. Other mixes eventually made it to vinyl 45 pressings, but thus far the original 45 mix still has not been released in an official digital version, other than the TimeLife CD.
