CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME APPROXIMATELY WHEN WILL DEEP ROOTS MUSIC PART 3 AND 4 BE RELEASE ON DVD? OR IS IT ALREADY AVAILABLE?

It is supposed to re-released on August 4th 2007, but it has had a couple of failed release dates in the past 18 months,It is a six part series that will be released on two Dvd's. It is a must have.

I believe they are already available. No guarantees though.

Edit: never mind, check post above...

I found a DVD version but not remastered, I suppose its a pirate...

looking 4ward into that again.

Check my website for the latest deep roots relaese info

basically they have been trying to release the series on dvd for about 2yrs now with 2 or 3 failed release dates already, the next official release date they have given is august i think(u can check dates on my website), Lace international plan a 2x dvd release containing all 6 episodes, then theres also another company doing a 3x dvd set release and they are releasing them in 2 episodes at a time, with the first part due out on dvd very soon. You can find bootleg copies of the series, theres a few versions, deep roots was originally broadcast in the early 80's as 6x 55min episodes, then it was re-broadcast a few years later as 6x 30min or 40min episodes, so theres 2 bootleg versions floating round, one is very bad quality and has time code stamps on screen, the other is excellent quality 9/10 and the full version.
For anyone that hasn't seen deep roots then u must buy it, essential for any reggae fan, packed full of wicked footage from the artists on the day.
The film Babylon has also just had a official dvd release in italy with extra "Dread Beat An Blood" with LKJ which was very controversial 1st time round and i seem to remember it getting banned for some reason.
