While in Japan I bought the UPLINK 25th anniversary edition DVD
( ROCKERS STYLE COMPLETE )
which came with a cloth replica movie poster,
a replica of the badge worn by cast and staff of the film and a hardcover book full of photos taken during the making of the film.

I also bought the large format, soft cover book of the same photos. (but fewer)

An amazing time capsule of the greatest era in Jamaican music.
One of my ALL TIME favourite films.
Hi there. I have the Rockers 25th Anniversary UK edition, in a cardboard sleve with a small booklet with a few photos. The picture quality of the film isnt very good and there is no option to turn off the subtitles. Is that the same with all the releases? Do you know if its possible to get the hardcover photo book seperately anywhere? Or is it worth buyign a multiregion dvd player and the japanese dvd? (but the menus are in japanese, i assume?) Thanks
Javier

Klaus You can by the book from uplink.com
I put up a link but the mods must have deleted it.
The DVD is available from reggaerecord.com
the JAPANESE version has the "NO SUBTITLES" option
and the menus are easy to navigate. Don't worry.
PM me if you have any questions
Lick it back Selecta!
