Anyone else seen this yet? Really looking forward to this since the early 80's dancehall is probably my favorite time period. There is no tracklisting....i'm sure i have most of the tracks already but i'm really looking forward to the DVD portion. Let's just hope it is actually released when they say it will be.

I love Junjo, I just hope there are some hard to find/unreleased tracks on this - most of the track listing is stuff that is readily available on a number of Greensleeves CD reissues.

I'll probably get it but strictly for the DVD. I wonder what footage it might have. I recognize some of it from a Volcano at Skateland DVD I have but it would be nice if there was more of Junjo.

I'm pretty certain that a high profile company like VP wouldn't dare to use Beth's photos without her getting paid. My favourite with Junjo is this one (also Beth):

I've got it framed on my wall next to a photo of the Dr. Early B (also by Beth).
There's also another very nice photo of Junjo that was taken by either Pekka Vuorinen or Tero Kaski where he stands by his speakers. You can find it in the classic Reggae Inna Dance Hall Style-book (which is coming out in an updated and extended version!!!!)

Any more information about the book? Who is publishing the extended version? Sounds very interesting.
