Product Description
The ultimate word on the history of reggae this six part series shot on film by an Oscar nominated cameraman was produced in the early 1980s just after the premature death of Bob Marley. This DVD contains Part 3 "The Bunny Lee Story" and Part 4 "Black Ark". In "The Bunny Lee Story" one great producer and his "family" of artists demonstrate how it's done (featuring Prince Jammy Wayne Smith Junior Reed and the fabulous backbone of the Bunny Lee stable - Jackie Edwards Delroy Wilson Johnny Clarke and Prince Jazzbo). "Black Ark" is a celebration of the influence of Rastafari on reggae and this part includes the rarest of footage of His Majesty Haile Selassie. Also featured is Nyabinghi drumming (Count Ossie Tommy McCook and Skully) The Mighty Diamonds and Bob Marley. Lee 'Scratch' Perry spends days at his home and in the studio brilliantly describing black power.System Requirements:Running Time: 100 minsFormat: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/DOCUMENTARY UPC: 820680105099 Manufacturer No: EDGE50D

4 out of 5 stars Rare footage satisfies fans   April 25, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Actually two episodes of a Brit doc. The gems here are:

-Hanging out with the illustrious Lee Perry at his infamous Black Arc studio for some crazy session time and wisdom. If you know his story you will love this footage.

- In the studio with Bunny Lee and crew, sitting in on a true dub hands-on mix session. A lesson of how its not the gear, its the people with taste laying down the sound.

The film's production has the good sense to often just let the camera roll, making few cuts or interruptions. This a a long satisfying format where you get the entire take. There are some great performances in both live and studio situations. Its a treat to be in the room.

There is a great deal of rare archival footage and nice background given through the narrative track. Some wonderful gatherings of early reggae's heroes. But if you are not already seriously interested in the genre I suspect this will not really grab you. Its for the hardcore fan.


5 out of 5 stars absolutely amazing   January 17, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

this is some of the best reggae footage of all time. I've had a copy of this full series (ep. 1-6) for a couple years that someone recorded back when it was aired. Episode 4 (black ark) is just pure amazing. the lee perry footage will blow your mind. there are a couple sessions at the black ark with scratch on the mic singing daniel saw the stone and ganja man. It seems as if he is improvising much of the lyrics.... If you are a fan of reggae, do yourself a favor and GET THIS. (ps: there is some amazing footage of some rasta smoke sessions too. i mean...amazing).
