if u get a chance to see this, watch out or record it

im just done watching the first parts and its a MUST see
u can also link me up for it

wicked documentary in 6 parts made way back in 1982 with mikey dread as a narrator

Check Dub Vendor's site, they may have a few copies left

Don't know if this is the same one that Mikele & Ites are talking about but I have a video of
Reggae: The Story of Jamaican Music that the BBC first broadcast in 2002. There is a companion book for it I just got from the library
Reggae: The Story of Jamaican Music by Lloyd Bradley
published by BBC WORLDWIDE isbn#0-563-48807-7

there is also a dvd released by shanachie "roots rock reggae" which shows the gladiators, ras micheal, lee perry and is very informative.In the mid eighties the BBC showed a special about reggae with Jools holland which is available from dub vendor.

thak you all for your help. i checked out a few of your dvds. i have also found a very helpfull site of a record store in germany called "www.rockersuptown.de". They have more than 200 dvds in stock. For example "roots,rock,reggae" or "rockers" with the burning spear solo. so visit the site if you are interested.
thanks a lot
